2-Methylcinnamic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White flakes or crystal

Uses

2-Methylcinnamic acid may be used as starting reagent for the total synthesis of the cytotoxic alkaloid, 22-hydroxyacuminatine and for the preparation of (E)-2-methylcinnamic acid i-butylammonium salt.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-Methylcinnamic Acid is a member of cinnamic acids.

General Description

2-Methylcinnamic acid has been reported to exhibit strong anti-fungal activity against white-rot fungus Lenzites betulina and brown-rot fungus Laetiporus sulphureus. Hydrogenation of 2-methylcinnamic acid using Walphos ligands and their biferrocene analogs has been studied.
