2-ETHYLHEXYL 4-METHOXYCINNAMATE

2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is a widely used organic UVB filter found in sunscreens and cosmetics, offering effective protection against harmful UVB rays and helping to prevent sunburn and skin damage.
While 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate provides excellent UVB protection, it is prone to photodegradation over time, making it crucial to combine it with other sunscreen agents to ensure broad-spectrum and long-lasting sun protection.
2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is effective and commonly used, its stability can be enhanced by incorporating antioxidants in formulations, and it remains a regulated and safe ingredient in sunscreen products worldwide.

2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is a liquid that is insoluble in water.
2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is a commercial sunscreen known as octinoxate with excellent UVB filter properties.

However, 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is known to undergo a series of photodegradation processes that decrease its effectiveness as a UVB filter.
In particular, the trans (E) form—which is considered so far as the most stable isomer—converts to the cis (Z) form under the effect of light.

In this work, by using post-Hartree–Fock approaches [CCSD, CCSD(t), and CCSD + T(CCSD)] on ground state 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate geometries optimized at the MP2 level, we show that the cis and trans forms of the gas-phase 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate molecule have comparable stability.
Test calculations on the same structures with a series of dispersion-corrected density functional theory-based approaches including the B2PLYP double hybrid predict the trans structures to be energetically favored, missing the subtle stabilization of cis-2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate.

2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate only protects against UVB and not UVA rays (the 320-400 nm range) – so always choose products that contain other sunscreens too.

2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is not very stable either, when exposed to sunlight, it kind of breaks down and loses its effectiveness (not instantly, but over time - it loses 10% of its SPF protection ability within 35 mins).
To make 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate more stable it can be - and should be - combined with other sunscreen agents to give stable and broad-spectrum protection (the new generation sunscreen agent, Tinosorb S is a particularly good one for that).
