A Mild Synthesis of Coumaryl, Coniferyl, Sinapyl Aldehydes and Alcohols

Abstract
Acetylconiferyl aldehyde is obtained from acetylvanillin by a Wittig reaction under phase-transfer conditions; basic hydrolysis gives coniferyl aldehyde, or after reduction with sodium borohydride affords coniferyl alcohol. This method is extended to the sinapyl and coumaryl series.
