The synthesis of urocanic acid which was started D-fructose, and its alkyl esters, urocanic ethyl ester and urocanic isobutyl ester, were prepared by esterificated. Urocanic ethyl ester and urocanic isobutyl ester were insoluble in water and soluble most organic solvents (ethanol, benzene, toluene, pyridine, THF, DMF) which adds to their practical applicability, and absorb ultraviolet light of greater wavelength than the free acid and there by are more effective for shielding sensitive materials, including the humanbody, from the chemically most effective portion of the solar ultraviolet spectrum.
