Synthesis of naturally occurring cinnamyl cinnamates

A convenient, high yield and general method is described for the synthesis of cinnamyl cinnamates (1a–f, 2a–c and 2e) from benzaldehydes (7a–f). The aldehydes (7a–f) on reaction with phosphorane (6) provide the (E,E) - cinnamyl cinnamates (1a–f) in high yields together with the (E,Z) - esters (2a–c...

Description
Summary:A convenient, high yield and general method is described for the synthesis of cinnamyl cinnamates (1a–f, 2a–c and 2e) from benzaldehydes (7a–f). The aldehydes (7a–f) on reaction with phosphorane (6) provide the (E,E) - cinnamyl cinnamates (1a–f) in high yields together with the (E,Z) - esters (2a–c and 2e) in low yields in the same reaction.
