Reaction Steps

To 7.5 g of trans-cinnamic acid (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical) were added 3 g of tetraethylammonium bromide (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical) and 100 ml of epichlorohydrin (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical), the mixture was heated to reflux at 110° C. for 3 hours, 50 ml of distilled water was added thereto, an organic layer was separated, concentrated in vacuo at 80° C. and distilled under reduced pressure of 6 mmHg and the fraction of 130 to 160° C. was recovered to give 12 g of glycidyl cinnamate. An epoxy equivalent of this glycidyl cinnamate was 240.3.
