Abstract

A sustainable one-pot synthesis of cinnamyl acetate from cinnamaldehyde is demonstrated for the first time using immobilized Baker's yeast and free or immobilized acid as catalysts and triacetin as solvent. Employing the immobilized yeast and Amberlyst-36 allowed full conversion and 91% selectivity for cinnamyl acetate after 96 h at room temperature, and both the catalysts and triacetin were successfully recycled.
