Description

4-Methylcinnamic acid is a cinnamic acid derivative that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs. It can be synthesized from 2-chlorocinnamic acid, which is prepared by reaction with phosphorus pentachloride. 4-Methylcinnamic acid is also able to be oxidized to 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, which has been shown to have anti-aging effects. The molecule can be modeled using molecular dynamics simulations and was found to be polarizable and diffracting.
