Abstract
A bifunctional polystyrene bearing both DMAP and piperidine groups is an effective organocatalyst for decarboxylative Doebner-Knoevenagel reactions of arylaldehydes and monoethyl malonate to give E-cinnamates in high yields. A synergistic effect obtained by co-locating the two different catalytic amine groups on the same polymer backbone has been detected.
