Reaction Steps

In 200 ml of DMF, 41.4 g of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 18 g of potassium carbonate were suspended. Fifty grams of cinnamyl bromide were added, followed by stirring at 120° C. for 5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled and then poured into about 500 ml of water. Crystals thus precipitated were collected by filtration, dried and then recrystallized from a mixed solvent of acetone and isopropyl ether, thereby obtaining 41.9 g of N-cinnamyloxyphthalimide. Yield: 59.1%
