140-10-3 Usage
Chemical Properties
White to almost white crystalline powder
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 140-10-3 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. trans-Cinnamic acid is used in flavors, synthetic indigo and pharmaceuticals. It is involved in the production of methyl, ethyl and benzyl esters, which is used in the perfume industry. It serves as a precursor to the sweetener aspartame through enzyme-catalyzed amination to phenylalanine. It is a self-inhibitor produced by fungal spores to prevent germination. In addition, it is used to establish phenolic compounds by liquid chromatography, ultraviolet and mass spectrometry. It is utilized as a potential agent, thereby preventing lung tumor cells from metastasizing. Further, it induces intracellular release of calcium ions from the vacuole to the cytoplasm in order to trigger phytotoxicity in cucumber.
2. trans-Cinnamic acid was used to establish library of phenolic compounds by liquid chromatography/ultraviolet and mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.
General Description
trans-Cinnamic acid is an α,β-unsaturated aromatic acid that can be used as a flavoring agent. It is mainly used to prepare ester derivatives that are used in perfume industry. trans-Cinnamic acid is the key volatile components of cinnamon essential oil.
Flammability and Explosibility
Notclassified
Biochem/physiol Actions
trans-cinnamic acid has inhibitory effect on phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. It is a potential agent which can prevent lung tumor cells from metastasizing. It induces intracellular release of Ca2+ from the vacuole to the cytoplasm which triggers phytotoxicity in cucumber.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the acid from *benzene, CCl4, hot water, water/EtOH (3:1), or 20% aqueous EtOH. Dry it at 60o in vacuo. It is steam volatile. [Beilstein 9 IV 2002.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 140-10-3 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,4 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 140-10:
(5*1)+(4*4)+(3*0)+(2*1)+(1*0)=23
23 % 10 = 3
So 140-10-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
