Preparation method | Using toluene as a water-carrying agent, in the presence of a catalyst, it is obtained by the reaction of cinnamic acid and benzyl alcohol. |
Production method | It is obtained by the reaction of sodium cinnamate and benzyl chloride. It is generally made by esterification of benzyl alcohol and cinnamic acid. It is formed by co-heating excess sodium cinnamate and benzyl chloride in water to 110~115 ℃. It is obtained by co-heating sodium cinnamate and excess benzyl chloride in the presence of diethylamine. |
