Description

3-Phenyl-2-propen-1-ol is a cinnamyl compound that is found in plants, such as cinnamon and cassia. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the enzyme activities of sorbitol dehydrogenase, which is involved in the synthesis of polysaccharides. 3-Phenyl-2-propen-1-ol also has a transcriptional regulatory effect on genes that encode enzymes involved in the synthesis of polymers. The reaction mechanism for this reaction has been proposed to be through an initial nucleophilic attack by the hydroxyl group on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon atom followed by protonation and elimination of water.
3-Phenyl-2-propen-1-ol has also been shown to be a signal peptide, which is used to identify proteins for transport within cells. This polymerase chain reaction (PCR) model system can be used to determine
