2-METHYL-3-PHENYL-2-PROPEN-1-OL Usage And Synthesis

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature

Uses

trans-2-Methyl-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol was used in the preparation of 5-methyl-4-phenyl-5-hexen-2-one.

Preparation

By selective hydrogenation of methylcinnamic aldehyde

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 117, p. 10417, 1995 DOI: 10.1021/ja00146a041

Metabolism

Cinnamic alcohol is mainly metabolized to benzoic acid, presumably via cinnamic acid, but substitution apparently prevents oxidation to benzoic acid, since 2-ethylcinnamic alcohol ( C 6H 5CH:C(C 2H 5)CH 2O H ) is partly (30-33%) excreted as α-ethylcinnamic acid (Williams, 1959)
