4-Ethoxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid

CAS: 58168-81-3

4-Ethoxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid (4EMC) is a metabolite of propionic acid. It is produced by the fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium when it is grown on lignocellulose. 4EMC can be cleaved from its ester bond with benzyl alcohol and vanillyl alcohol to produce vanillyl, benzyl, and ethanol. These products are then further metabolized to produce other compounds such as acetaldehyde, acetic acid, and butanol. 4EMC also inhibits the enzyme catalysed that converts propanol to butanol in cultures of P. chrysosporium
