Abstract
This invention discloses a novel process for preparing cinnamic acid derivatives. The inventive process is illustrated by the synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate by coupling p-methoxybenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate in an alcohol solution, wherein a buffer compound such as sodium acetate is present, the coupling reaction being catalyzed by a mixture comprising a copper salt, such as cuprous chloride, and a palladium salt, such as Li.sub.2 PdCl.sub.4.
