Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.1 mol 4-fluorobenzaldehyde, 0.15 mol malonic acid, and 0.1 ml piperidine in 30 ml pyridine is boiled for 10 hours, cooled, and treated with 150 ml HCl having a 10% concentration. The precipitate is filtered and crystallized with ethanol. The yield of 4-fluorocinnamic acid is 68% and the melting point is 211° C.
