Beschreibung

Cuminic acid is a diphenolase that hydrolyzes esters and amides. It has been shown to have protease activity against the α subunit of the enzyme, which may be due to its ability to bind to DNA and form covalent bonds with amino acids. Cuminic acid also has a high binding affinity for odorant molecules and can be used as an odorant in perfumes. The reaction mechanism of cuminic acid is not well understood, but it is believed that it forms an intermediate with copper chloride that reacts with carbon dioxide or trifluoroacetic acid, forming hydroxyl groups. These reactions are catalyzed by a coenzyme A-dependent enzyme.
