Reaction Steps

Cinnamic acid (25 g, 168.74 mmol) was treated with SOCl2 (150 ml) for 2 hours at 70° C. in a round-bottomed flask. The volatiles were distilled out under vacuum to afford cinnamoyl chloride as a yellow oil (25.2 g, crude), which was used in the next step without further purification.
