trans-2-bromocinnamic acid

Description:
Trans-2-bromocinnamic acid is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a bromine atom attached to the second carbon of a cinnamic acid backbone. It belongs to the class of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids and is known for its trans configuration, where the bromine and the carboxylic acid group are positioned on opposite sides of the double bond. This configuration influences its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, as well as its reactivity. The compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone, but less soluble in water. Trans-2-bromocinnamic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic addition and substitution, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique properties and reactivity profile make it a valuable compound in both academic research and industrial applications.
