2-Nitrocinnamic Acid CAS 612-41-9

1. Acts 2-Nitrocinnamic acid as a key intermediate for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antitumor activities.

2. Serves 2-Nitrocinnamic acid CAS 612-41-9 as a building block in organic synthesis for preparing functional aromatic derivatives and specialty fine chemicals.

3. Functions as a research reagent in chemical laboratories for studying the properties of nitro-containing unsaturated carboxylic acids.

Store 2-nitrocinnamic acid (CAS 612-41-9, pale yellow crystalline powder, faint aromatic odor, flash point ~198°C, combustible solid) at 10–25°C in sealed amber glass containers in a cool, dry, dark area. Isolate from strong oxidants, strong acids and alkalis to avoid degradation. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles and a dust mask; avoid dust inhalation, skin/eye contact and ingestion to prevent mild irritation. Reseal tightly post-use; dispose of waste per local organic nitro chemical regulations.

2-Nitrocinnamic acid is an industrial intermediate and research reagent, not for direct pure-form human ingestion; undiluted intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, mucosal irritation and potential toxic reactions.

In regulated applications, 2-Nitrocinnamic acid CAS 612-41-9 supports the R&D of high-value therapeutic drugs, enables the synthesis of targeted organic compounds, and facilitates academic research on nitroaromatic chemistry.
