i need aplications of alpha beta unsaturated compounds regarding organic chemistry .the compound like cinnamic acid

[alphahydroxy]

what do you mean by applications?

At least try to pretend you're not just saying "do my homework for me"

eventhough the people posting before me are absolutely right about the "homework" issue:

ever thought about "cuprates" and "sharpless amino-hydroxylation"? ;-)

Try to gather some information, it shouldn't be too difficult

[alphahydroxy]

The Sharpless amino hydroxylation is not specific to alpha-beta-unsaturated ketones, it can be applied to alkenes in general.

The Michael addition of cuprates, if I recall correctly, generally requires formation of the Lithium cuprate or another such 'mixed-metal' organometallic.

[miraculix]

The Sharpless amino hydroxylation is not specific to alpha-beta-unsaturated ketones, it can be applied to alkenes in general.

Indeed, but it is definitly possible to do an Aminohydroxylation in order to obtain e.g. unnatural amino-acids.

But to give an application of alpha-beta unsaturated compounds: Do some radical-chemistry with e.g. a,b-unsaturated esters or amides as radical acceptors.

Sorry - I got confused there and I thought you were the original poster! I was trying to get him to think a bit more carefully about what he was asking... oops!

@Alphahydroxy: Nevermind ;-)
