Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Hydrogenated cinnamic acid is an important aromatic carboxylic acid compound, which consists of a benzene ring and a propionic acid group directly connected by a saturated carbon chain. As a complete hydrogenated product of cinnamic acid, it loses the original double bond conjugation system, but retains the aromatic property of benzene ring and the reactivity of carboxyl group. It is usually a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slight sweet taste.
The carboxyl group (pKa≈4.9) of hydrogenated cinnamic acid makes it a typical organic acid, which can participate in salt formation, esterification and other reactions. The electronic effects of the benzene ring affect the reactivity of the carboxyl group.Its saturated propyl chain, as compared to cinnamic acid, increases the molecule’s thermal stability (melting point of roughly 46–48 °C) and decreases photosensitivity, making it more appropriate for industrial settings where stability is needed. Although this chemical is stable at room temperature, it should not come into touch with strong oxidants.

Product Packaging
1. Spices and food additives
Hydrocinnamic Acid has a mild sweet and fragrant aroma. It is commonly used to prepare vanilla, caramel, or fruit flavors and is widely used in food, beverages, and daily chemical products. Its carboxyl group can be further esterified to produce various flavor compounds (such as ethyl hydrogen cinnamate) to prolong the persistence of the aroma.
2. Drugs and their predecessors
Hydrocinnamic Acid is an example of phenylpropionic acid and is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen derivatives. By adding heteroatoms or functional groups to the benzene ring structure, antibacterial, antioxidant and cardiovascular drugs can be made.
3. Polymer-based materials and their derivatives
In the production of polyester or polyamide biobased polymers, carboxyl groups of Hydrocinnamic Acid may be involved in the condensation reaction. Because its benzene ring structure can improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the polymer, it is suitable for engineering plastics or coatings.
4. Management of agriculture and plant growth
As plant growth regulators, Hydrocinnamic Acid and its derivatives (such as salts or esters) may have an effect on crop root development or stress resistance. In addition to their antimicrobial properties, some derivatives are also used in the manufacture of environmentally friendly insecticides.
5. Organic synthesis and fine chemicals
Hydrocinnamic Acid is a raw material for the synthesis of fine chemicals such as cinnamyl alcohol and hydrogenated cinnamaldehyde, and is widely used in the preparation of liquid crystal materials, dyes, or photoinitiators. Its carboxyl group can also be converted into active intermediates such as acyl chlorides and amides to expand the diversity of the reaction.
