Description

3-Chlorocinnamaldehyde is a synthesized organocatalytic reagent that can be used in asymmetric synthesis. It is an inorganic base that has a polarizability of +1. The synthesis of 3-chlorocinnamaldehyde involves the reaction of benzene with chlorine and potassium hydroxide in the presence of a phosphine. This reagent is used as a building block for cinnamic acid derivatives, which are generally used as fragrances and flavoring agents. 3-Chlorocinnamaldehyde has been shown to react with β-unsaturated aldehydes to give cinnamic acid derivatives with high enantiomeric excess.
