3-(trifluoromethoxy)cinnamic acid; CAS No.: 168833-80-5;3-(trifluoromethoxy)cinnamic acid. PROPERTIES: 3-(trifluoromethoxy)cinnamic acid is a trifluoromethylated aromatic carboxylic acid with molecular formula C10H7F3O3. It typically exists as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point of approximately 135-140 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves in basic aqueous solutions. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong acids, releasing toxic fluorine-containing fumes. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, protected from moisture and heat. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical research, this compound serves as a lead structure for developing antimicrobial and anticancer agents. The trifluoromethoxy substitution provides electron-withdrawing effects that enhance binding to biological targets, while the carboxylic acid group forms the pharmacophore essential for activity (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, 3-(trifluoromethoxy)cinnamic acid contributes to the creation of functional organic materials with tailored electronic properties. Its fluorinated aromatic core and carboxylic acid group influence the electronic characteristics of derived materials, useful in optoelectronic applications such as organic field-effect transistors (Journal of Materials Chemistry C). The compound can also form coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks with potential applications in gas storage or catalysis (Chemistry of Materials).
