Chapter 19, Problem 55P

The Perkin condensation is an aldol-type condensation in which an aromatic aldehyde (ArCHO) reacts with a carboxylic acid anhydride, ( R C H 2 C O ) 2 O , to give an α , β -unsaturated acid ( A r C H = C R C O 2 H ) . The catalyst that is usually employed is the potassium salt of the carboxylic acid ( R C H 2 C O 2 K ) .

(a) Outline the Perkin condensation that takes place when benzaldehyde reacts with propanoic anhydride in the presence of potassium propanoate.

(b) How would you use a Perkin condensation to prepare p-chlorocinnamic acid, p- C l C 6 H 4 C H = C H C O 2 H ?

The product of this chloromethylation can be converted to piperonal, which is used in perfumery and in artificial cherry and vanilla flavors. How might the CH2Cl group of the chloromethylation product be converted to a CHO group?
Myo-inositol, the most prominent naturally occurring form of inositols, is a carbocyclic polyol that plays an important role as the structural basis for a number of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. It is generated in vivo from the aldol cyclization of glucose-6-phosphate to myo-inositol-1-phosphate
