This is a continuation of a project started in 2018 by A. Tibbs.
Coumaryl alcohol will be synthesized from coumaric acid through two separate reactions:
- First, coumaric acid will be converted into ethyl coumarate by through esterification. This will involve converting the carboxylic acid group into an ethyl ester group.
- 2
Finally, ethyl coumarate will be converted into coumaryl alcohol through a reduction reaction.
