3-(3-METHYLPHENYL)-2-PROPENOIC ACID - Introduction
3-methylcinnamic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H10O2. It is a methyl derivative of cinnamic acid, structurally attached to a methyl group on carbons 3 and 4, respectively, on the benzene ring.
The properties of 3-methylcinnamic acid are as follows:
-Appearance: white crystalline powder
-Melting point: 137-139 ° C
-Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, ether and benzene and other organic solvents, insoluble in water.
3-methylcinnamic acid has certain pharmacological effects and chemical activities, and is commonly used as an additive in cosmetics and drugs. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, and can be used in skin care products, sunscreen and health products.
The method for preparing 3-methylcinnamic acid is generally obtained by reacting cinnamic acid with a methylating agent (such as methyl iodide). During the reaction, cinnamic acid reacts with methyl reagent to form the methyl ester of 3-methylcinnamic acid, which is then hydrolyzed to obtain 3-methylcinnamic acid.
No clear toxicity has been reported regarding the safety of 3-methylcinnamic acid. However, as a chemical, it should be noted that it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Therefore, during use or handling, direct contact should be avoided and appropriate safety procedures should be followed, such as wearing protective gloves, goggles and respiratory protection equipment. If contact with skin or eyes is made, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help.
