Title: Reaction of Cinamic Acid and DBDMH
Post by: Satty07 on April 01, 2009, 07:09:28 PM
I am synthesizing B- Bromostyrene from Cinamic Acid using DBDMH in dichloromethane with triethylamine as a catalyst.  I am refluxing and stirring the mixture with no luck.  I was wondering if there was anything else that I could do to jump start and speed up the reaction?

Thanks
