(2E)-3-(2-Methylphenyl)-2-propenoic acid

Description:

(2E)-3-(2-Methylphenyl)-2-propenoic acid, commonly known as 2-methylcinnamic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a propenoic acid moiety with a 2-methylphenyl group attached. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. The compound exhibits both acidic and aromatic properties, making it a versatile building block in organic synthesis. It can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and Michael addition, and is often used in the synthesis of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.

(E)-3-(o-Tolyl)acrylic acid

CAS: 939-57-1

(E)-3-(o-Tolyl)acrylic acid is a boronic acid with the chemical structure of an ester. Boronic acids are electron-deficient, which makes them good ligands for metal ions such as ruthenium. In this case, the boronic acid is used to form a ruthenium complex. The compound can be used in a Suzuki coupling reaction to form C–H bonds. It also has acidic properties and hydrogenations that make it useful for synthetic purposes. (E)-3-(o-Tolyl)acrylic acid is able to bind to prostanoid receptors, which are a type of ligand in the body that interacts with prostanoids (hormones). This makes it useful as a synthetic ligand for radioligands or radioactive isotopes.
