Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 3-nitrocinnamate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 3-nitrocinnamate is a synthetic compound that belongs to the group of stilbene derivatives. It has been used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. Ethyl 3-nitrocinnamate is not naturally occurring and can be synthesized by isomerization of cinnamic acid and nitration of ethyl cinnamate. The stereochemical and stereoselective properties of this compound can be utilized for the synthesis of other compounds. Nitrobenzaldehyde reacts with nitrovinyl chloride to form oxetane, which then reacts with acetonitrile to produce ethyl 3-nitrocinnamate.
