Application of microwave irradiation techniques for the syntheses of cinnamic acids by Doebner condensation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085805

The reaction rate of Doebner condensation to achieve cinnamic acids can be dramatically enhanced by irradiating the reaction mixture containing an aromatic aldehyde, malonic acid, pyridine and a trace of piperidine with a commercial microwave oven. Ten cinnamic acids were synthesized within 2-5 min in excellent yields.
