Oxidative carbonylation technology is used for making methyl cinnamate from styrene as an alternative to Claisen condensation of benzaldehyde with methyl acetate. Using this approach, the optimum yield of cinnamate is greater than 90%, with CO{sub 2}, acetophenone, and phenylsuccinate as the major by-products. The conversion of styrene and the selectivity to cinnamate depend upon the types of catalysts and reaction conditions used. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed to account for the selective formation of cinnamate.
