A-Phenylcinnamic acid

The production of a-phenylcinnamic acid by heating benzaldehyde with acetic anhydride and sodium phenylacetate ... [Pg.707]

Here the phenylacetic anhydride, possessing more reactive a-hydrogen atoms, condenses with benzaldehyde to give a-phenylcinnamic acid. The preparation of the latter is an example of the Oglialoro modiflcation of the Perkin reaction. [Pg.708]

The Pschorr reaction, originally applied to the synthesis of phen-anthrene and its derivatives,has been adapted to the formation of new heterocyclic systems.In its original form, it consisted of treating a diazonium salt with copper powder in acid solution in this way, rans-o-amino-a-phenylcinnamic acid was converted into phen-anthrene-9-carboxylic acid, Eq. (20). Variants of the reaction include cyclizations such as that in Eq. (21). The reaction may be horaolytic... [Pg.148]

The preparation of a-phenylcinnamic acid from benzaldehyde, phaiyl-acetic acid, acetic anhydride and triethylamine is described. Presumably equilibria are set up between phenylacetic acid and acetic anhydride to form phenylacetic anhydride, a mixed anhydride or both ... [Pg.708]

The a-carbon atom of the phenylacetyl group is more susceptible to attack by the basic catalyst (triethylamine) than the acetyl group hence a-phenylcinnamic acid, but no cinnamic acid, is obtained. [Pg.708]

A 500-ml. three-necked flask is fitted with a reflux condenser and a thermometer, the bulb of which reaches far enough into the flask to be covered by the liquid. A solution of 46.0 g. (0.205 mole) of a-phenylcinnamic acid (p. 70) (Note 1) in 280 ml. (307 g., 2.38 moles) of quinoline (Note 2) is added to the flask along with 4.0 g. of copper chromite.2 The reaction flask is heated by means of a mantle or an oil bath until the temperature of the reaction mixture reaches 210-220°. The mixture is kept within this temperature range for 1.25 hours. The solution is then cooled immediately and added to 960 ml. of 10% hydrochloric acid in order to dissolve the quinoline (Note 3). The product is extracted from this mixture with two 200-ml. portions of ether followed by a 100-ml. portion. The combined ether extracts are filtered to remove particles of catalyst, washed with 200 ml. of 10% sodium carbonate, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The dry solution is removed from the drying agent by filtration and heated on a steam bath to distil the ether. The residue is dissolved in a hexane fraction, b.p. 60-72° (Skellysolve B) the solution is cooled to 0° and filtered to remove /raws-stilbene, if any. The hydrocarbon solvent is removed by distillation, and the czs-stilbene is distilled. The yield is 23-24 g. (62-65%), b.p. 133-136°/10 nun., 95-97°/l mm. tig 1.6183-1.6193, 1.6212-... [Pg.45]

Neither tritium or deuterium gas, with zero dipole moments, can be expected to interact positively with microwave radiation. Their low solubilities are seen as a further disadvantage. Our thoughts therefore turned towards an alternative procedure, of using solid tritium donors and the one that has found most favor with us is formate, usually as the potassium, sodium or ammonium salt. Catalytic hydrogen transfer of this kind is remarkably efficient as the results for a-methylcinnamic acid show [50]. The thermal reaction, when performed at a temperature of 50 °C, takes over 2 h to come to equilibrium whereas the microwave-enhanced reaction is complete within 5 min. A further advantage is that more sterically hindered al-kenes such as a-phenylcinnamic acid which are reduced with extreme difficulty when using H2 gas and Wilkinson s catalyst are easily reduced under microwave-enhanced conditions. [Pg.445]

Pschorr s synthesis of phenanthrene (1893) in five steps with the essential dediazoniation and ring closure of 2-diazonio-a-phenylcinnamic acid giving, on addition of copper powder, phenanthrene-9-carboxylic acid, is today still the highest yielding one of all the reactions discussed in this section, Pschorr was able to get 93% yield, and today electrochemically induced Pschorr and related reactions141 give almost quantitative yields in several cases. [Pg.653]

A mixture of 30.2 g. (0.20 mole) of o-nitrobenzaldehyde,2 40 g. (0.29 mole) of phenylacetic acid, 100 ml. (1.08 moles) of acetic anhydride, and 20 g. (0.20 mole) of triethylamine is refluxed for 15 minutes in a 500-ml. flask. The solution is cooled to 90°, and 100 ml. of cold water is added over a 5-minute period at a rate that maintains the temperature above 90° (Note 1). The solution is filtered at 95-100° and cooled to 20°. frims-o-Nitro-a-phenylcinnamic acid precipitates in the form of light-orange crystals. It is separated by filtration and washed with 60 ml. of 50% acetic acid and with water. The dried acid weighs 39-42 g. (72-77%) and melts at 195-198°, which corresponds to a purity of about 98% (Note 2). After recrystallization from 500 ml. of toluene, it is in the form of yellow prisms weighing 38-39 g. (71-72%) and melting at 197.8-198.3°. [Pg.89]

Note that there are virtually no data for the asymmetric hydrogenation of the C=C bond over heterogeneous catalysts. The first example474 described the chiral hydrogenation of a-phenylcinnamic acid with 15% ee. [Pg.895]
