The reaction begins with the decarboxylation of the cinnamic acid. Decarboxylation is the removal of the carboxyl group (-COOH) from the cinnamic acid, resulting in the formation of the α,β-unsaturated compound. Decarboxylation reactions often require suitable conditions, such as high temperatures or the presence of a decarboxylating reagent.
