Benzaldehyde is the reactant.
Explanation:
- The reaction is Perkin's reaction.
- The Perkin's reaction is the reaction where the aromatic aldehyde is treated with an aliphatic anhydride.
- The product formed is an alpha beta unsaturated acid and another aliphatic acid.
- The mechanism is quite complicated.
- But the most accepted mechanism is through carb anion formation and furthur nucleophilic addition and tetrahedral intermediate and finally hydrolysis.
- As cinnamic acid is the product, so Benzaldehyde is the reactant here.
