Description

General description

Hydrocinnamic acid forms complexes with uranium(VI) and has been investigated in aqueous solution by attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Hydrocinnamic acids are the major rhizospheric compounds with known growth regulatory activity.

Application

Hydrocinnamic acid was used in the synthesis of three medium-chain acyl-Coenzyme A′s i.e. 3-phenylpropionyl-CoA from mixed anhydrides of fatty acids.
