Reaction Steps

The procedure described in Example 1 is repeated, except that (a) 50 ml of dioxane, (b) 50 ml of ethyl butyrate, (c) 50 ml of propionitrile, (d) 50 ml of diethyl carbonate, (e) 50 ml of chlorobenzene, (f) 50 ml of cyclohexane, (g) 50 ml of tert.-butanol or (h) 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide are used in place of 50 ml of toluene. After working up as described in Example 1, ethyl cinnamate is obtained in comparably good yields.
