Chemical Structure

Basic Info
The organic compound 3-Methoxycinnamic Acid has the chemical formula C10H10O3, and is a derivative of cinnamic acids. Its structure is composed of benzene groups connected by acrylic acids (—-CH=CH—-COOH) and contains a substituted methoxy at the third position of the benzene. This compound is usually a white or light yellow powder. It has the chemical properties of carboxylic acid and aromatic ethers.
From the perspective of chemical raw materials, 3-methoxycinnamic acid can be synthesized by Perkin reaction or Knoevenagel condensation reaction, with 3-methoxybenzaldehyde and malonic acid as the main starting materials. Its molecule has a conjugated double-bond system, carboxylic functional group, and electronic effect of the methoxyl groups. This gives it specific properties in terms of ultraviolet absorption and polarity. These structural features also provide sites for further chemical modification.
