Nechifor, Marioara published the artcileSodium tetraborate/benzyltriethylammonium chloride-mediated synthesis of substituted cinnamic acids from aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic carboxylic acids, Safety of (E)-3-(3-Nitrophenyl)acrylic acid, the publication is Revue Roumaine de Chimie (2013), 58(2-3), 161-164, database is CAplus.
A simple, efficient, cost-effective synthesis of some cinnamic acid derivatives was carried out by one-pot condensation reaction of benzaldehydes and aliphatic carboxylic acids in presence of sodium tetraborate and benzyltriethylammonium chloride and N-methyl-pyrrolidinone as solvent. This reaction proved to be faster and efficient alternative route to the Perkin reaction but requires high temperatures (reflux at 180-190¡ãC) and strong basic conditions.
Revue Roumaine de Chimie published new progress about 1772-76-5. 1772-76-5 belongs to catalysis-chemistry, auxiliary class Benzenes, name is (E)-3-(3-Nitrophenyl)acrylic acid, and the molecular formula is C9H7NO4, Safety of (E)-3-(3-Nitrophenyl)acrylic acid.
