Description

tert-Butyl Cinnamate 98 CAS NO 7042-36-6 is a high-purity ester derivative of cinnamic acid, valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and building block in organic synthesis. Its primary commercial significance lies in its use for introducing the cinnamoyl moiety and the tert-butyl protecting group into more complex molecular architectures. This product is essential for research and development laboratories and production facilities in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced crop protection agents and pesticides.
• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Acts as a precursor or a modifier in the creation of aromatic compounds for perfumery and flavorings.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in research for coupling reactions and as a protected form of cinnamic acid.
• Polymer Chemistry: Can be utilized as a monomer or cross-linking agent in specialty polymer formulations.
• UV Absorber / Stabilizer Precursor: Functions as a starting material for compounds used in plastics and coatings to prevent photodegradation.
