(2E)-3-[4-(Octyloxy)phenyl]-2-propenoic acid

Description:

(2E)-3-[4-(Octyloxy)phenyl]-2-propenoic acid, also known by its CAS number 99196-58-4, is an organic compound characterized by its propenoic acid structure, which features a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms of the propenoic acid backbone. The presence of a 4-octyloxyphenyl group enhances its hydrophobic properties, making it more soluble in organic solvents than in water. This compound typically exhibits a yellow to brown color in its solid state and may have a characteristic odor. It is likely to be used in various applications, including as a monomer in polymer synthesis or as an intermediate in organic synthesis due to its reactive double bond. The octyloxy substituent can influence its physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, as well as its reactivity in chemical reactions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting optical properties, making it a candidate for use in materials science and photonic applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
