Abstract:

Hydroxybenzaldehydes are submitted to a one pot O-alkylation / Wittig olefination in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to give alkyl alkoxycinnamates. The reaction is carried out facilely and gives the products in high yield.

Keywords: Wittig olefination; one pot reaction; O-alkylation; cinnamates
