Reaction Steps

4-Dodecyloxycinnamic acid is prepared by generally known processes by condensation of a 4-alkoxybenzaldehyde with malonic acid or by reaction of coumaric acid with dodecyl bromide. The colourless crystals have a melting point of 158-159° C. The corresponding acid chloride is obtained therefrom virtually quantitatively by reaction with oxalyl chloride in benzene (18 hours, room temperature).
