Description

Methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate is a trifluoroacetic acid derivative that can be synthesized from the reaction of acetyl chloride and phenol. The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the c. glabrata gene sequence, which led to the identification of two new coumarin derivatives, 3-hydroxycoumarin and 4-hydroxycoumarin. The synthesis of Methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate has been shown to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells by activating a cb2 receptor in T47D cells. This compound also has an acidic nature and is not stable at high temperatures or in basic solutions such as hydrochloric acid.
