Ácidos cinámicos

Cis-4-Chloro-3-nitrocinnamic acid is an aromatic organic compound with potential utility in biochemical research and synthesis. This compound is typically derived from synthetic chemical processes involving chlorination and nitration reactions on cinnamic acid derivatives. Its molecular structure, characterized by both chloro and nitro functional groups, allows it to interact in unique ways with various biochemical pathways and molecular frameworks.

4-Aminocinnamic acid is a monomer that can be polymerized to form polymers. It is soluble in organic solvents and is resistant to UV light. 4-Aminocinnamic acid has been shown to have photochemical properties and can be used to produce hydrogen bonds with other molecules. This compound has been used as a carbon source for microbial growth and has been shown to be an effective genetic control agent for the bacteria Escherichia coli. 4-Aminocinnamic acid has also been shown to inhibit the growth of butyric acid producing bacteria, such as Clostridium butyricum, while promoting the growth of lactic acid producing bacteria, such as Lactobacillus plantarum.

Methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamate is a natural phenolic compound that is found in small quantities in many plants and foods. It is used to produce other compounds, such as vanillin, which are used as flavoring agents. Methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamate can be quantified using the enzymatic reaction of peroxidase with 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzene. The kinetics of this reaction have been studied by titration calorimetry. Aspergillus niger catalase has been shown to be sensitive to methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamate. Birch and oak wood lignocellulosic biomass can be converted into sugars through a hydrolysis process with methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamate. The carbohydrate content of birch and oak wood was reduced by approximately 60

The 2-methylcinnamic acid is a derivative of cinnamic acid. It is an organic compound that is a colorless liquid at room temperature. The 2-methylcinnamic acid can be synthesized via the Suzuki coupling reaction between 2-chlorocinnamic acid and 4-hydroxycinnamic acid in the presence of a ruthenium complex, a diphosphine ligand, and an acidic co-solvent. This organic compound has been shown to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis by interacting with the prostanoid receptor, a protein located on the surface of cells that binds to inflammatory agents or hormones. These interactions may also lead to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for prostaglandin synthesis. The 2-methylcinnamic acid can also be converted into flavonoids such as quercetin and apigenin through oxidation reactions.
