Synthesis and Optimization of Cinnamic Acid Through Perkin Reaction

Chen Zhi tao, Xiao Shang you, Tian Gao, Li Zhi liang

Abstract

An improvement on synthetic procedure of cinnamic acid is made, using potissium carbonate as catalyst and PEG-400 as phase transfer catalyst. The synthetic yield is increased to 65.3% and the reaction time is shortened by optimization through comparing the quantity of potassium carbonate, molecular weight of PEG, reaction time and temperature by using the orthogonal design.
