Cinnamic acid is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CH=CHCOOH. It is a white crystalline compound that is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. Classified as an unsaturated carboxylic acid, it occurs naturally in a number of plants. It exists as both a cisand atransisomer, although the latter is more common.
Cinnamic acid is a central intermediate in the biosynthesis of myriad natural products include lignolsto lignin and lignocellulose), flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumarins, aurones, stilbenes, catechin, and phenylpropanoids. Its biosynthesis is performed by action of the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) on phenylalanine.
Cinnamic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of a huge number of plant substances, including lignin, tannins, flavonoids, pigments, many of the flavor components of spices, and various alkaloids, such as morphine and colchicine.

Usage of Cinnamic alcohol
1.Flavor and fragrance
Cinnamyl alcohol is mainly used in the preparation of aromas such as apricot, peach, raspberry and plum, cosmetic essence and soap essence. It has a mild, long-lasting and comfortable aroma, elegant fragrance and also used as a fixative. It is often used in combination with phenylacetaldehyde. Cinnamyl alcohol is a food spice that is allowed to be used in China's "Sanitary Standards for the Use of Food Additives". It is mainly used to prepare fruit flavors such as strawberries, lemons, apricots and peaches, and flavors of brandy.
2.Organic synthesis intermediate
It can be used to prepare cinnamyl chloride. It is an excellent raw material for the preparation of the long-acting multifunctional vasoconstrictor antagonist, ceramide. At the same time, cinnamyl chloride can also be used to synthesize the anti-pathogenic microbial agent naftifine and anti-tumor drugs. Toremifen. Flunarizine dihydrochloride is a calcium antagonist that can also be synthesized using cinnamyl chloride. Cinnamyl alcohol is also a raw material used to prepare perfumery lauric acid..
Cinnamyl alcohol(CAS NO. 104-54-1) is an organic compound with very distinct sweet, spicy, hyacinth odour with the formula C6H5CH=CHCH2OH. Cinnamyl alcohol is also known by a variety of other names including cinnamic alcohol, 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol, 3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol, zimtalcohol, styryl carbinol, e-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol, 3-phenylallyl alcohol, trans-cinnamyl alcohol. It can be found in the bark of cinnamon trees, as well as in the leaves of the tea-tree, and hyacinth and daffodil flowers. It can also be produced synthetically. Cinnamyl alcohol is mainly used in the fragrance industry because of its distinctive odour. Besides, it can also be used as a food additive in chewing gum, bakery products, candy and soft drinks.
