Allocinnamic acid is a cis-isomer of cinnamic acid, into which the cinnamic acid is easily converted.[1][2]

Synthesis

Allocinnamic acid was first discovered by Carl Liebermann in 1890 in coca leaves,[3][4] then Liebermann found that this acid is formed during the reduction (by zinc dust in an alcoholic solution during boiling) of β-dibromopropiolic acid.

Physical properties

Allocinnamic acid crystallizes in the form of three crystalline modifications with melting points of 68 °C, 58 °C, and 42 °C.[5][6] It is hardly soluble in water and cold ligroin, easily soluble in alcohol and ether, and does not change in dim light.[7]

Chemical properties

When heated briefly with concentrated sulfuric acid, the compound turns into cinnamic acid.[3]

It forms liquid anhydride with acetic anhydride, which turns into cinnamic acid anhydride when heated.
