3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Off-White Crystalline Solid

Uses

3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic Acid (Isoferulic acid) is a hypoglycemic agent.

Uses

3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid exhibits hypoglycemic properties.

Uses

3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid was used in the synthesis of tranilast and various tranilast analogs (cinnamoyl anthranilates) by genetically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain. It was also used in the synthesis of glycoside compounds by undergoing glycosidation.

Definition

ChEBI: A ferulic acid consisting of trans-cinnamic acid bearing methoxy and hydroxy substituents at positions 4 and 3 respectively on the phenyl ring.

General Description

3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid, predominantly trans is available as white crystals. 3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid is isolated from the aerial part of Artemisia capillaris, Chinese medicinal plant. It is a component of chinese herbal medicine used for a pain killer and stomachic. It is an efficient acetylcholine inhibitor. 3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid is bioactive metabolite of Spilanthes acmella Murr. It increases the resistance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidation.

Synthesis

3-Hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid

537-73-5

To a suspension of isovanillin (152 mg, 1.00 mmol) and malonic acid (416 mg, 4.00 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) was added triethylamine (0.70 mL, 5.00 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (0.20 mL, 1.50 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 4 hours, subsequently cooled to room temperature and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The residue was dissolved in 1 M NaOH solution (20 mL) and the resulting solution was washed with dichloromethane (3 x 20 mL). The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 1 by the addition of 3 M HCl. The milky precipitate formed was collected in a Hirsch funnel, washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and air dried. The precipitate was recrystallized by solvent recrystallization in a methanol-water mixture and dried in a vacuum desiccator using phosphorus pentoxide as a drying agent to give trans-3-hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid (164 mg, 85% yield) as a cream-colored crystalline solid.1H NMR spectroscopic data were in agreement with those reported in the literature (McCorkindale, N.J.; McCulloch, A.W. Magrill, D.S.; Caddy, B.; Martin-Smith, M.; Smith, S.J.; Stenlake, J.B. Tetrahedron 1969, 25, 5475).
