TCI B6837 Butyl 3-Phenylacrylate (butyl cinnamate, CAS 538-65-8) is an unsaturated ester whose double bond is conjugated to a phenyl ring. This conjugation makes it a useful Michael acceptor and a substrate for cycloaddition, hydrogenation, and epoxidation in synthetic work. The cinnamate framework is also studied in photochemistry, where light-induced isomerisation and dimerisation support research into photoresponsive materials and crosslinkable coatings, while its soft balsamic odour suits fragrance formulation. Supplied in 5 g and 25 g packs, the liquid should be stored cool, dry, tightly closed, and protected from light.
