Cinnamic acid was prepared by oxidation of benzalacetone which was synthesized by condensing benzaldehyde and acetone. Then the aqueous solution of sodium cinnamate and 25 wt.% aqueous sulfuric acid solution were added dropwise at a rate of 13 grams per minute and 2.0 grams per minute respectively. The present invention relates to a preparation process of cinnamic acids by the hydrolysis of an alkyl ester of the cinnamic acids. In this paper design and synthesis of a scaffold comprising primaquine (PQ) motif and cinnamic acid derivatives (CADs) bound directly (compounds 3a–k) or via a spacer (compounds 7a–k) are reported. In the operation of adding the mineral acid into the aqueous solution of alkali cinnamate, however, the reaction mixture often forms a slurried liquid having a high viscosity. Hydroxycinnamic acids (hydroxycinnamates) are a class of aromatic acids or phenylpropanoids having a C 6 –C 3 skeleton. mixtufe was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid. 0 The resulting cinnamic acid is then precipitated by addition of a mineral acid. A separable flask equipped with a stirrer was charged with 16.2 grams (0.10 mol) of methyl cinnamate, and a solution of 4.3 grams of 97 wt.% sodium hydroxide in 200 grams of water, and the mixture was reacted at 80°C for 15 minutes with vigorous stirring. In the category of phytochemicals that can be found in food, there are : . While excessive quantity of water leads to the reduction of yield. That is, the yield of the product reduces at less than 1% by weight, while a highly concentrated slurry is formed at more than 20% by weight and causes insufficient stirring, incomplete reaction and deterioration in the purity of product. The temperature in the acidification reaction is suitably 10 to 80°C. One of the simplest and most efficient and environmentally benign methods for cinnamic acid synthesis is based on the Knoevenagel condensation of diethylmalonate with benzaldehyde catalyzed by mixed oxides of Mg/Al, Mg–Al + Ln (Ln = Dy, Gd), or Li/Al as shown in Fig. The precipitates were filtered with suction, washed with 50 ml of water by stirring in a beaker, filtered again and dried under reduced pressure. The reaction was always carried out at the pH of not more than 2 and terminated after one hour. Consequently, cinnamic acid obtained was 14.5 grams (97.9% yield) and had purity of above 99.9%. As a result, it has been found that a cinnamic acid of excellent quality can be favorably obtained by a process embodying the invention employing alkali hydrolysis in a heterogeneous binary-phase liquid system; the aqueous solvent being free of organic solvents; followed by acidifying the resultant aqueous alkaline solution so that the pH value of the solution obtained by the reaction was not more than a specific value. 1. Consequently, cinnamic acid obtained was 14.4 grams (97.2% yield) and had purity of above 99.9%. 2. The operation may be intermittent with a suitable interval so long as the operation does not make this invention invalid. The alkali for use in the alkali hydrolysis of this invention includes, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and barium hydroxide. In all cases, small amounts (<10% yield) of meso hydrodimers were also formed. Cinnamic acids are technically important as materials for perfumes, photosensitive polymers and various organic or biochemical products. The mixture was reacted at 80°C for 15 minutes with vigorous stirring. 6 to < 2 log cfu g −1 for 21 d at 4°C; however, undesirable colour and odour changes were also observed. UNIV ZHEJIANG. Hence the cinnamic acid having good quality can be obtained efficiently and in good yield. %PDF-1.4 %���� The main advantage of the method we present is the Water soluble mineral acid which is usually available in industry can be used in the acidification of the alkali cinnamate solution. 0000018061 00000 n A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination and pharmacokinetic study of cinnamic acid in the plasma of rats after having We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website.By continuing to use our website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies. 8, 1952, pages 421-423, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, Stuart, Ian Alexander (40 Basinghall Street, GB). ), our alternative uses aliphatic carboxylic acids instead of the corresponding anhydrides. For the hydrolysis reaction of the cinnamate ester with aqueous solution of the alkali, any operation can be applied which includes a batchwise or semi-batchwise operation of charging both components in a lump or separately into the reaction vessel and a continuous operation of continuously charging these components. In the prior arts, mineral acids are added to the aforesaid alkaline solution of alkali cinnamate containing the organic solvents. Cinnamate esters are always formed as an intermediate in such processes as Claisen condensation which used benzaldehyde and acetate esters, a method of using benzene or its derivatives and acrylate esters as the raw materials, and a method of employing styrene or its derivatives, carbon monoxide, alcohol and oxygen as the raw materials. The partial purified cinnamic acid is obtained after column chromatography application. After charging about 20 grams of sulfuric acid in the flask in advance, the aqueous alkaline solution of sodium cinnamate was added dropwise with stirring until pH of 2 was indicated. Consequently cinnamic acid thus obtained was 14.4 grams (97.2% yield) and had purity of above 99.9%. The embodiments of acidification reaction are, for example, the operation of adding said mineral acid into the aqueous alkaline solution of alkali cinnamate, the operation of adding the aqueous alkaline solution of alkali cinnamate into the mineral acid and the operation of continuously charging both components. Various synthetic methods have been used for the preparation of cinnamic acid and its After heating for 15 minutes with stirring, the flask was fitted with a Liebig's condenser and further heated to give 30 grams of distillate.

The hydrolysis reaction of cinnamate esters with alkali in the process of this invention may be started in the heterogeneous binary-phase liquid system, which consists of melted cinnamate ester and aqueous alkali solution. So this is the main drawback of For instance, these processes are methods of preparing cinnamic acid and its derivatives from benzaldehydes as a main raw material by Perkin reaction, Knoevenagel reaction or Claisen condensation (as described in, for example, Organic Reactions, vol. R4 represents unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group.). Structure−activity relationship was derived also. Cinnamic acid is a central intermediate in the biosynthesis of a myriad of natural products including lignols (precursors to lignin and lignocellulose), flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumarins, aurones, stilbenes, catechin, and phenylpropanoids. Consequently, cinnamic acid obtained was 14.5 grams (97.9% yield) and had purity of above 99.9%. trans -Cinnamic acid (TCD, also known as trans --pheny-lacrylic acid) is one of the main chemical constituents of cinnamon which belongs to plant Lauraceae [, ]. The cinnamic acid is soluble in dichloromethane at room temperature and thus before the bromine addition the reaction vessel holds a colourless solution. 0000002417 00000 n 50611/'72, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Both methods gave products in similar yields. There are cis and a trans isomer exist naturally in a number … The procedure of Example 6 was repeated except 0.102 mol of hydrochloric acid was used in place of 0.053 mol of sulfuric acid in acidification. Therefore, procedures such as extraction and concentration are required for the isolation of desired products.

Perkin reaction, etc. The aim of this study to purified the cinnamic acid from the cinnamon bark. The solution was distilled at about 100°C, a fraction of 98 to 99°C was collected, and 17.8 grams of methanol were recovered as an aqueous solution. Perkin's method was first applied to m-bromobenz-aldehyde by Miller and Rohde (1890) who, after heating the Perkin mixture at 140-50° for as many as twenty hours, obtained a 73% yield of m-bromo-cinnamic acid. Background and objective: Periodontitis is the chronic destructive disease of the periodontium, which causes severe inflammation in the tissues. trailer Furthermore, the solvents used for the extraction should be recovered in the industrial application.
