CAS 2628-17-3: 4-Vinylphenol

4-Vinylphenol is a chemical compound that has the molecular formula CH2=CHC6H4OH. It is a hydroxyl derivative of phenol and has the chemical structure of a phenolic acid. This compound is used in the laboratory to study the effects of cationic polymerization on surface methodology and activation energies. 4-Vinylphenol inhibits Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, which is commonly found in urine samples as well as in recombinant cells, by inhibiting cell growth and reducing ATP production. The inhibition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain by 4-vinylphenol can be reversed with p-hydroxybenzoic acid or cationic polymerization. The molecule also contains two nitrogen atoms that can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules, such as water molecules. It is possible that these hydrogen bonds are what allow 4-vinylphenol to inhibit Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, although this hypothesis has

4-Vinylphenol

4-Vinylphenol, a metabolite from lactic acid bacteria in wine, induces apoptosis. Found in Hedyotis diffusa Willd.

Applications 4-Vinylphenol, 10 wt.% In propylene glycol (cas# 2628-17-3) is a useful research chemical.

4-Vinylphenol is a phenolic compound that is used as an industrial chemical. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in nonpolar solvents, including aerobacter aerogenes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 4-Vinylphenol inhibits bacterial growth through its ability to disrupt the hydrogen bonds between proteins and nucleic acids. This results in increased hydroxyl groups on the protein surface and cationic polymerization of the DNA gyrase enzyme, which disrupts its function. 4-Vinylphenol has also been shown to activate mouse CD-1 cells by increasing their sensitivity to chemical inhibitors, such as ethidium bromide or 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH2DA).
