 |  | 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | white to light yellow granular powder |  | Uses | 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid, predominantly trans is an inhibitor of the phenylpropanoid enzyme 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA ligase. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Methylenedioxycinnamic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid. |  | General Description | 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid is an inhibitor of the phenylpropanoid enzyme 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA ligase. It undergoes electron transfer reaction with trichloromethylperoxyl radical and reaction has been studied by pulse radiolysis. |  | Purification Methods | Crystallise the acid from glacial AcOH, EtOH (m 247o) or aqueous EtOH (m 240-242o), and it has m 242o after sublimation.
