Reaction Steps
A mixture of 129 g of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloro-3-phenylpropane and 100 g of 85% formic acid is heated to 100° to 106° C. for 10 h. Te reaction is accompanied by evolution of hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide. Cooling the reaction mixture, filtration of the crystals and their washing with water affords 60 g of cinnamic acid in 81% yield (melting point 126° to 132° C., purity over 97per cent).
