Reaction Steps

Ethyl cinnamate is prepared by the procedures described above, using different bases and the following reactants: 2.24 mg (10-5 mols) of palladium acetate, 5.77 ml (50 millimols) of benzoyl chloride, 5.42 ml (50 millimols) of ethyl acrylate and 50 millimols of N-benzyldiethylamine or N-(3-chlorobenzyl)-dimethylamine, in 100 ml of p-xylene. The reaction mixture is stirred for 4 hours at 130° C. Ethyl cinnamate is obtained in a yield of 67% of theory if N-benzyldiethylamine is used, and a yield of 56% of theory if N-(3-chlorobenzyl)-dimethylamine is used.
