The Perkin reaction is an organic reaction developed by William Henry Perkin that is used to make cinnamic acids. It gives an α,β-unsaturated aromatic acid by the aldol condensation of an aromatic aldehyde and an acid anhydride, in the presence of an alkali salt of the acid.[1][2] The alkali salt acts as a base catalyst, and other bases can be used instead.[3]
Several reviews have been written.[4][5][6]
Reaction mechanism
The above mechanism is not universally accepted, as several other versions exist, including decarboxylation without acetic group transfer.[7]
Applications
- One notable application for the Perkin reaction is in the laboratory synthesis of the phytoestrogenic stilbene resveratrol (c.f. Fo-ti).[8]
