1-[3-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]ethanone

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 1-(3-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-ethanone (810 mg), 4-formylcinnamic acid (950 mg, 5.4 mmol) and 1.7 M KOH (6.4 ml) in EtOH (40 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The resulting precipitate was filtered and washed with EtOH to give 1.25 g of (E)-3-{4-[(E)-3-(3-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-3-oxo-propenyl]-phenyl}-acrylic acid as its potassium salt. The resulting precipitate was filtered washed with EtOH
