Common NameCinnamic acid
DescriptionCinnamic acid, also known as (Z)-cinnamate or 3-phenyl-acrylate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acids. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a benzene and a carboxylic acid group forming 3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid. Cinnamic acid can be obtained from oil of cinnamon, or from balsams such as storax. Cinnamic acid is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). It is a white crystalline compound that is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. Cinnamic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Outside of the human body, cinnamic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, chinese cinnamons. In plants, cinnamic acid is a central intermediate in the biosynthesis of myriad natural products include lignols (precursors to lignin and lignocellulose), flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumarins, aurones, stilbenes, catechin, and phenylpropanoids.
