Description

2-Phenylacrylic acid is a chromatographic method that can be used as a cross-linking agent in the synthesis of polycarboxylic acids. It has been shown to protonate tiglic acid, which is an important component in the formation of polycarboxylic acids. 2-Phenylacrylic acid also has acidic properties and can be used as a conditioning agent for the synthesis of hydroxylated molecules. This compound has been shown to have hepatic steatosis-inducing effects and may also contribute to metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus type II. Molecular modeling studies have shown that 2-phenylacrylic acid is able to bind with human liver cells, which may be due to its hydroxyl group.
