What is trans-Cinnamic acid?
Description
Cinnamic acid exists as trans and cis isomers, but the trans form is the one most often found in nature and is the article of commerce. It is obtained from cinnamon bark and balsam resins such as storax. It was first isolated in 1872 by F. Beilstein (of?Handbook of Organic Chemistry?fame) and A. Kuhlberg. It is synthesized by the Perkin reaction between Ac2O and PhCHO.
trans-Cinnamic acid is used in the manufacture of flavors, dyes, and pharmaceuticals; but its major use is for the production of its methyl, ethyl, and benzyl esters. These esters are important components of perfumes. The acid is also a precursor to the sweetener aspartame.

The Uses of trans-Cinnamic acid
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.
