cinnamic acid

Its supposed effectiveness against these ailments is attributed to the cinnamic acid found in the plants.

Another example is shown below, the photochemical dimerization of cinnamic acid.

Six cinnamic acids were examined to ascertain the generality of the transformation.

Cinnamic acid is used in flavors, synthetic indigo, and certain pharmaceuticals.

Ethyl cinnamate is the ester of cinnamic acid and ethanol.

Sinapyl alcohol is an organic compound structurally related to cinnamic acid.

In the reduction of derivatives of cinnamic acid, decarboxylation also occurs.

Phenylpropanoic acid can be prepared from cinnamic acid by hydrogenation.

The processed leaves and stems contain benzoic and cinnamic acids.

Work on alcohol, amber, benzoin resin and cinnamic acid.

Cinnamic acid has a honeyed, floral taste, which "sounds like a plus for flavor," Stevenson says.

These compounds are hydroxy derivatives of cinnamic acid.

Cinnamic acid is also part of the biosynthetic shikimate and phenylpropanoid pathways.

A fourth process is the light-directed E→Z (trans–cis) isomerism of cinnamic acid derivatives.

Both mechanisms use cinnamic acid as their starting point, which is derived from the amino acid phenylalanine.

Milkweed oil from the seeds can be easily converted into cinnamic acid, which is a very potent sunscreen when used at a 1-5% concentration.

It also contains cinnamic acid alcohol and aldehyde, farnesol, and nerolidol.

Some authors require balsams to contain benzoic or cinnamic acid or their esters.

Only a few identified compounds, such as anigorufone and pinosylvin, use cinnamic acid as their starting molecule.

Phenylalanine is converted to cinnamic acid by the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.

It is a natural lactone that derives from the intramolecular cyclization of a cinnamic acid derivative.

Examples of photoresponsive switches include cinnamic acid and cinnamylidene acetic acid.

This efficiency is commonly associated with chemical structures incorporating several conjugated double bonds, as seen in the structure of cinnamic acid.
