Abstract
An improvement on synthetic procedure of cinnamic acid is studied, using anhydrous potassium carbonate and potassium fluorid as catalyst and PEG-400 as phase transfer catalyst. The synthetic yield is increased to 64.86% and the reaction time is shortened by optimization through comparing the quantity of potassium carbonate, reaction time and temperature.
