Cinnamic Acid 2 Phenylacetaldehyde
« on: May 03, 2002, 03:04:00 PM »
I found a reference in an organic chemistry book about cinnamic acid being used in the preparation of phenylacetaldehyde.

After extensive web searches, tfse, and patents, I can not find any more details on this.

Can anybody enlighten me please ?

I believe that is performed by ozonization of the cinnamic acid. Nothing for home tinkerers.
