Conversion of Nitrostyrene

[roger2003]

It is possible to convert Nitrostyrene to

Cinnamic acid
and
Phenylacetic acid
?

The Nitro Group in Organic Syntheses p. 163
(Conversion of Nitro Compunds into Cabocyclic Acids)

…a very efficient related reaction using a mixture of sodium nitrite and acetic acid in DMSO (at 30° C ; 6 h) has been reported. Because carbon-carbon double bonds and triple bonds and other various functional groups are compatible with this reaction conditions……

JOC 62, 234 (1997)

Will this yield cinnamic acid ?
