A series of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid derivatives was prepared and evaluated for antinarcotic effects on morphine dependence in mice and binding affinities on serotonergic receptors. The key synthetic strategies involve generation of ketones 6-7, esters 9-12 through condensation reaction, and amides

When grown on 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid, a strain of Pseudomonas putida oxidized this compound and also 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic, 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic (syringic), and 3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic (3-O-methylgallic) acids, but 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic and other acids bearing structural resemblances to the growth substrate were oxidized only slowly. These results
3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid (TMCA) is one of the constituents in Onji (roots of Polygala tenuifolia WILLD), an herbal medicine used for sedative in Japanese traditional Kampo medicine. Our previous study revealed that oral administration of this compound prolongs sleeping time induced
A highly flexible and concise total synthesis of (+)-podophyllotoxin featured with an enantioselective sequential conjugate addition-allylation reaction was reported. Starting from commercially available 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid, this new route leads to (+)-podophyllotoxin 1 in only eight steps with 29% overall yield.
