p-Hydroxy-cinnamic acid/CAS 7400-08-0/4-Hydroxycinnamic acid

Short Description:

4-Hydroxycinnamic acid, also known as p-coumaric acid, is a phenolic compound that is usually a white to pale yellow crystalline solid. It has a characteristic aromatic odor and is soluble in alcohol and slightly soluble in water. The molecular formula of the compound is C9H10O3, and its structure contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a trans double bond, which determines its chemical properties and reactivity.

4-Hydroxycinnamic acid (p-coumaric acid) is moderately soluble in water, typically about 0.5 g/L at room temperature. It is more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone. Solubility varies with factors such as temperature and pH.

Is 4-Hydroxycinnamic acid hazardous?

4-Hydroxycinnamic acid (p-coumaric acid) is generally considered to be of low toxicity and is not considered a hazardous substance under normal handling conditions. However, like many compounds, it may pose some risks:

1. Irritation: May cause mild irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract upon contact or inhalation. It is recommended to take appropriate safety precautions when handling, such as wearing gloves and goggles.

2. Allergic reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions to phenolic compounds, including p-coumaric acid.

3. Environmental Impact: Although it is biodegradable, excessive amounts released into the environment may affect the local ecosystem.

Cautions during transportation

1. Packaging: Use appropriate packaging to prevent moisture and chemicals. Make sure the container is sealed to prevent leakage.

2. Label: Clearly label the contents of the packaging, including the chemical name and any relevant hazard information. If necessary, include handling instructions.

3. Temperature Control: If your compound is temperature sensitive, make sure it is shipped in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent degradation.

4. Avoid contamination: Keep substances away from incompatible materials and ensure they do not come into contact with moisture or other contaminants during transport.

5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Personnel responsible for transportation should wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves and goggles, to minimize exposure.

6. Emergency Procedures: In case of leakage or accident during transportation, you should be aware of the emergency procedures. Prepare a leak kit and first aid supplies.

7. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with local, national and international regulations regarding the transportation of chemical substances.
