Reaction Steps

3-Nitrocinnamic acid (50 g) was suspended in ethanol (600 cm3) and reduced in the presence of palladium catalyst until no further hydrogen uptake was observed. After filtering the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the pure product in quantitative yield as a brown oil which slowly crystallised.
