Abstract: Propyl cinnamate was prepared using cinnamic acid and propanol as raw materials andp-toluenesulphonic acid supported on polyaniline (PTSA/PANI) as catalyst.The effects of molar ratio of acid/alcohol,reaction time,and the number of times used and the dosage of catalyst on the yield of propyl cinnamate were investigated.The product was characterized by IR and1H NMR.The results show that PTSA/PANI has good catalytic activity and stability.The optimized conditions are as follows:0.15 mol (approximately 22.2 g) cinnamic acid;n(cinnamic acid)∶n(propanol)=1∶4.0;the catalyst used is in an amount corresponding to 6% of the mass of cinnamic acid;the amount of cyclohexane (water entrainer) is 15 mL;the reaction time is 3.5 h.The yield of propyl cinnamate thus obtained exceeds 90.0%.The catalyst is able to be reused 6 times and the yield is still above 85.0%.

Key words: propyl cinnamate, p-toluenesulfonic acid, polyaniline, synthesis
