1. General experimental :

NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 using Tetramethylsilane (TMS; δ = 0.00 ppm) as internal

standards for 1H NMR and corresponding residual non-deuterated solvent signal (CDCl3: δ =

77.00 ppm) was used as internal standards for 13

C NMR. Mass spectra were measured with

Micromass Q-Tof (ESI-HRMS) and Shimadzu gas chromatograph mass spectrometer model QP-

2010 Ultra EI. Column chromatography were carried out on silica gel 230-400 mesh or 100-200

mesh (Merck). Chemicals obtained from commercial suppliers were used without further

purification.

2. Preparation of starting materials:

The starting materials, substituted cinnamic acid derivatives were prepared from the

corresponding aldehydes using general procedure shown in the following scheme and spectral

data are in agreement with the literature.

a) NaH (60% mineral oil, 2 equiv.), Triethylphosphonoacetate ( 1.5 equiv.) in THF at 0 °C to 60

°C. b) NaOH ( 5 equiv., EtOH:H2O in 8:2 ratio at 60 °C).

All compounds were analyzed by NMR, IR and MS spectroscopy and also compared with

known compounds.

Typical experimental procedure

α,β-Unsaturated acid (0.5 mmol), CuCl (0.05 mmol) and tertiary butyl nitrite (1.0 mmol) and

CH3CN (2 mL) were added in to an oven dried round bottom flask, the reaction mixture stirred at

80 °C for 12 -18 h and the completion of the reaction was monitored by thin layer

chromatography. After completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room

temperature, and solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product, which

was purified on silica gel column to get pure product.
