Compound Q&A
How is 3-Phenylacrylic acid (CAS: 9045-22-1) typically synthesized?
Answer
3-Phenylacrylic acid is typically synthesized via the Wittig reaction, where phenyl methyl ketone reacts with phosphorus ylide. Another method involves the condensation of benzaldehyde with acrylic acid, followed by hydrolysis. This process yields a pure product with high selectivity and good yield under appropriate conditions.
