Question

What is the product of hydrolysis of cinamic acid +acetic acid?

Answer 1

can also be prepared from cinnamaldehyde and benzal chloride. Another way of preparing cinnamic acid is by the Knövenaegel–Hans condensation reaction. The reactants for this are the corresponding benzaldehyde and malonic acid in the presence of a weak base, followed by acid hydrolysis.

Answer 2

Answer:

The product of bromine addition to cis-cinnamic acid would be the threo isomer. This is most easily explained by looking at the mechanism of the reaction starting with the cis isomer.
