In the molecule of the title compound, C14H18O4, the C=C double bond is in an E configuration. The molecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation of all non-H atoms = 0.04 Å). An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into ribbons extending in [110].

Esterification of caffeic acid with amyl alcohol was performed in a column (inner diameter= 15 mm, length = 200 mm). Caffeic acid (8.95 g, 0.05 mol) was dissolved in amyl alcohol (100 ml). The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 60 minutes and fed from the top of the reactor with syringe pumps. The feed rate of the mixture was fixed at 10.0 ml/h.
resin CD-552 particles(5 g) and molecular sieve(5 g) were packed into the middle of the reactor and glass beads of 2 mm in diameter were loaded into the rest of the column. The reaction temperature continued at 90°C for 20 h. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and followed by the addition of ethanol and extracted with chloroform three times. The chloroform extract was dried over evaporated to give a solid residue, and dissolved in ethanol/petroleum ether (1:1) to crystal. The solution was filtered and concentrated to yield a brown crystalline product (5.3 g, 59.2%). Recrystallization from ethanol gave colourless crystal.The H atoms were placed in calculated positions (O—H = 0.82 A ° and C—H = 0.93–0.97 A °) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(O,C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Caffeic acid and its esters have been a research hot spot for a long time. These compounds are known to show a variety of biological effects such as anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities (Uwai et al., 2008; Buzzi et al., 2009). As a part of our studies into the synthesis of caffeic acid derivatives, the title compound (1) pentyl (E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate was synthesized (Xia et al. (2006); Son et al. (2011)). We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecule of (I) has an E configuration (Fig. 1); All non-H atoms of (I) are almost coplanar, with a root mean square deviating from the least-squares plane of 0.04 A°. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges.
In the crystal structure, hydroxy groups contribute to intermolecular O—H···O interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into ribbons extended in the [110] direction (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of thestructure. On the other hand, the intramolecular O—H···O H-bond also contribute to the stability of the molecular configuration (Fig. 1 and Table 1).
