o synthesize trans-cinnamic acid from benzaldehyde (PhCHO) and acetic anhydride (Ac2O) under basic, refluxing conditions to exemplify the Perkin condensation. 1. Draw the complete chemical reaction to be carried out. 2. Provide a complete arrow-pushing mechanism for the synthesis of trans-cinnamic acid. 3. Briefly describe the role of water, Na2CO3, and HCl in the isolation of the product. Draw the structure of the product at basic pH (after Na2CO3 addition) and at acidic pH (after HCl addition).
