Synthesis and antifungal activity of cinnamic acid esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1271/bbb.60.909

Cinnamic, p-coumaric and ferulic acids were isolated from pineapple stems (Ananas comosus var. Cayenne). Twenty-four kinds of esters were prepared from these acids, alcohols and the components of Alpinia. Isopropyl 4-hydroxycinnamate (11) and butyl 4-hydroxycinnamate (12) were found to have almost the same effectiveness in antifungal activity against Pythium sp. at l0 ppm as that of the commercial fungicide iprobenfos (Kitazin P).
