Light yellow to beige crystalline powder | [Uses]
p-Coumaric Acid is the hydroxy derivative of Cinnamic Acid with antioxidant properties. p-Coumaric acid is a is a major component of lignocellulose. Studies suggest that p-Coumaric Acid may reduce the
risk of cancer by reducing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. | [Application]
p-Hydroxycinnamic acid is mainly used as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical and perfume industries. It can react with dimethyl sulfate to produce p-anisaldehyde, react with acetaldehyde to produce p-hydroxycinnamaldehyde, and further oxidize it to produce cinnamic acid. This product can be directly oxidized to produce 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid and reduction to produce 4-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A coumaric acid in which the hydroxy substituent is located at C-4 of the phenyl ring. | [storage]
