(E)-methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate; CAS No.: 3943-97-3; (E)-methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate. PROPERTIES: This compound is a pale yellow liquid with molecular formula C11H10O3, possessing molecular weight of 190.20 g/mol. It has boiling point around 240-245 C at 760 mmHg and density of approximately 1.15 g/cm?. It shows moderate solubility in polar solvents and is practically insoluble in water. Storage should be in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents and sources of ignition as it may form explosive peroxides upon prolonged storage. Standard safety measures include avoiding release to environment and using spark-proof tools when handling due to its flammability. APPLICATIONS: In polymer science, this acrylate derivative functions as monomer for producing UV-curable resins. Its cinnamic acid structure undergoes efficient free radical polymerization upon UV irradiation, making it suitable for 3D printing materials (Progress in Organic Coatings). In pharmaceutical field, it serves as intermediate for synthesizing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs where the hydroxyphenyl group contributes to cyclooxygenase enzyme inhibition (Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology). The (E)-geometric configuration is maintained during synthesis to ensure proper receptor binding. Additionally, it finds use in fragrance composition as it can be converted to aromatic compounds with desired olfactory profiles through controlled hydrolysis and decarboxylation reactions (Flavour and Fragrance Journal).
