Versuchsvorschrift
A homogeneous mixture containing cinnamaldehyde (7.5 mmol), DDQ (11.3 mmol), MeOH (15 mL) and toluene (10 mL) is taken in a round bottom flask and catalytic amount of neutral alumina (0.1 g) is added to it. The mixture is refluxed for 6 hrs under Dean Stark apparatus. After completion of the reaction (observed by TLC and by GC analysis), the reaction mixture is filtered and washed with MeOH (5 ml×2). Concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure and the crude product thus obtained is loaded on a neutral alumina column and eluted with diethyl ether. Methyl cinnamate is isolated in 96% yield whose NMR values are found matching with reported values as in example 1.
