The Perkin reaction occurs when aromatic aldehydes react with alkanoic anhydrides in the presence of an alkanoate. This reaction is analogous to aldol condensation.
Perkin’s reaction mechanism includes the reaction between aromatic aldehydes, the aliphatic acid anhydride, and the alkali salt of the acid to give cinnamic acid derivatives. The Perkin reaction is an organic chemical reaction named after its discoverer – William Henry Perkin.
