Description:Methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a cinnamate backbone with two hydroxyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions and a methoxy group at the carboxyl end. This compound is typically a pale yellow to brownish solid or liquid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its potential applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, particularly due to its antioxidant properties and ability to absorb ultraviolet light, making it a candidate for use in sunscreens and skin care products. Methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate may exhibit solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water, which is common for many organic compounds. Its chemical behavior can be influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl groups, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and affect its reactivity. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.
