a. Perkin's condensation:The reaction between an aromatic aldehyde and the anhydride of an aliphatic acid in the presence of sodium salt of the same acid, leading to the formation of an alpha, beta unsaturated acid is called Perkin's reaction. For example, benzaldehyde and acetic anhydride give cinnamic acid.

benzaldehyde + acetic anhydride --CH3COONA (455K)----> Cinnamic acid + CH3COOH
