Study of the molecular and spatial structure of trans-cinnamic acid isolated from the hairy root culture of Scutellaria baicalensis

Abstract

In this study, the crystalline structure of a sample of trans-cinnamic acid, isolated from an aqueous-alcohol extract of Scutellaria baicalensis in vitro root culture was analyzed using diffraction analysis. The diffraction analysis results confirmed that the investigated trans-cinnamic acid sample corresponds to the declared compound: trans-cinnamic acid. Additionally, the structure of this sample was examined using NMR spectroscopy. The obtained 1H, 13C{1H}, 1H1H-COSY, 1H13C-HSQC, 1H13C-HMBC NMR spectra of the studied sample correspond to the structure of the target compound, trans-cinnamic acid. No impurity signals were detected in the analyzed trans-cinnamic acid sample.
