Best Answer

The Perkin reaction by rctn with an ethanoic anhydride and an ethanoate salt.

or

First step: Add CH2(CO2Et)2 along with Na+-OEt and ethanol to benzaldehyde. (carbonyl condensation)

Second step: Add H3O+.

The Perkin reaction is an organic reaction developed by William Henry Perkin that can be used to make cinnamic acids i.e. α-β-unsaturated aromatic acid by the aldol condensation of aromatic aldehydes and acid anhydrides in the presence of an alkali salt of the acid several reviews have been written. The reaction of phenylacetic acid and benzaldehyde with triethylamine and acetic anhydride to alpha-phenylcinnamic acid is an example of this reaction type.

What is the major product of auto oxidation of benzaldehyde?

The major product of the autooxidation of benzaldehyde is a crystalline white precipitate of benzoic acid. When few drops of benzaldehyde is exposed to the atmosphere by using a watchglass, it is oxidized to form carboxylic acid salt.

What is the action of air as an oxidizing agent in benzaldehyde?

Air is 20 % oxygen. The oxygen reacts with the aldehyde group to convert it to a carboxyl group is occurs spontaneously whenever benzaldehyde (BA) is exposed to air. Just leave a spot of BA on the counter top and it will be crystalline benzoic air by the next morning.
