White Crystalline Compound Cinnamic Acid Used in Perfume, Food, Polymer and Pharmaceutical
1. Cinnamic acid Description
Cinnamic acid is a white crystalline compound with the formula C6H5CH=CHCOOH which is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. It exists as trans and cis isomers, but the trans form is the one most often found in nature and is widely used in commerce. Trans-Cinnamic acid is very important because it is widely used in perfume, food, photographic, polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Landmark provides both cis-cinnamic acid(CAS NO. 621-82-9) and trans-cinnamic acid(CAS NO. 140-10-3).

3. Cinnamic acid usage
Cinnamic acid is an important substance because it is widely used in perfume, food, photographic, polymer and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for clinical and toxicological studies. Until now, many methods have been reported for its determination, such as titrimetry, differential-pulse polarography, spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, HPLC, electrokinetic capillary chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. However, there are many disadvantages over these methods, such as long-response time, reagent consumption, complicated operation, etc.
Flavors and fragrances
It can be used as an aromatic mixture in soaps, shampoos, washing powders, and daily cosmetics. Cinnamonic acid is used in apple flavor, cherry flavor, fruit flavor, and floral fragrance. It has the effect of inhibiting the formation of black tyrosinase, has a certain insulating effect on ultraviolet rays, can make brown spots lighter or even disappear, and is one of the essential ingredients in advanced sunscreen. Cinnamic acid itself is a kind of spice, which has a good aroma-retaining effect. It is usually used as a raw material for fragrant, which makes the aroma of the main fragrance more volatile.
The pharmaceutical industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as an important drug for the synthesis and treatment of coronary heart disease. It can be used as a heart-to-heart and heart-to-heart, as well as synthetic chlorpheniric acid and cinnamyl piperazine. It can be used to make "Xin Kean", local anesthetic, fungicide, hemostasis. Medicine, etc. Chlorobenamide and cinnamyl piperazine can also be synthesized for use as a spine bone relaxant and an antispasmodic agent. Mainly used for cerebral thrombosis, cerebral arteriosclerosis, coronary artery cirrhosis and other diseases. It has a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells.
Organic synthesis
In terms of organic chemical synthesis, cinnamic acid can be used as a sustained release agent for galvanized sheets, a heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, a crosslinker for polyurethane, a flame retardant for hydantoin and polycaprolactam, and a chemical analysis reagent. It is also a reagent for determining the separation of uranium and vanadium; it is also the most important synthetic raw material for negative-type photosensitive resins. The main synthetic lauric acid ester, polyvinyl alcohol cinnamate, ethyl ethoxy cinnamate and epoxy resin with pendant cinnamate. Used in plastics, it can be used as heat stabilizer for PVC, anti-mold and deodorant for sterilizing, and can also be added into rubber and foam to make deodorant shoes and insoles. It can also be used for cotton and various synthetic fibers, leather and paint. Prevent mildew in products such as shoe polish and straw mats.
