Electrochemical methoxylation of cinnamic acid is accompanied by decarboxylation and yields 1,1,2-trimethoxy-2-phenylethane through formation of γ-truxillic acid in the initial stage. Under the same conditions methyl cinnamate and cinnamamide give rise to
Regioselective photodimerization of cinnamic acid in a micellar solution
Nakamura, Yushin

Irradiation of trans-cinnamic acid (1) and its methyl ester (2) in 1% aq. cetyltirmethylammonium bromide gave dimeric products in 35 and 29% yields as a mixture of truxinic and truuxillic acids in a ratio of 19 : 1 and 3.8 : 1, respectively, while in homogeneous solutions (1) gave no photodimers and (2) gave dimeric products in 2.3% yield under similar reaction conditions.
