Procedure

To piperine (1) (2 g, 0.7 mmol, 1 eq), 20% of methanolic KOH (100 ml) was added and refluxed for 2 days. After completion of the hydrolysis, methanol was removed under reduced pressure and a yellow coloured oily solid was obtained. This residue was dissolved in water (50 ml) and acidified with 6N HCl to pH<1 yielding a yellowish precipitate of piperinic acid. Recrystallization from methanol gave yellow needles (0.9 g, 60% yield). m.p. 206° C.-208° C. (Lit m.p. 217° C.-218° C.)1
