&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;9&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;9&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.[http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents.[http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/ingredients/factsheets/factsheet_040506.htm]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unforeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Antifungal Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has also been found to exhibit antifungal properties, and of all the leaf oils of the Cinnamonuium tree, possesses the strongest of these against some strains of fungi (such as Coriolus versicolor and Laetiporus sulphureus).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;WANG Sheng-Yang, CHEN Pin-Fun , CHANG Shang-Tzen: Antifungal activities of essential oils and their constituents from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum) leaves against wood decay fungi, Bioresour. technol., 2005, vol. 96, no7, pp. 813-818&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:1476-0711-4-20-4.jpg|thumb|400px|left|Effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde on the growth of H. pylori (ATCC26695) at low pH.]][http://www.ann-clinmicrob.com/content/4/1/20 Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials 2005, 4:20 doi:10.1186/1476-0711-4-20 ... 2005 Ali et al]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde is a planar acrylic aldehyde with a benzene ring substituent. Its geometry arises from the presence of the double bond and the aromatic benzene ring. Cis and trans isomers both exist, although the predominant form is the trans isomer, where the terminal carbonyl group is on the opposite side of the benzene ring over the rigid double bond.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/perchem/CINNAMALDEHYDE.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effective in this area: namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme for this synthesis follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Chemical Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cinnamaldehyde.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme follows: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by Aldol Condensation of Benzaldehyde and Acetaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
This involves reacting benzaldehyde with acetaldehyde in aqueous NaOH with a benzene catalyst, with an optimum yield of 57%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Qufu Shifan Daxue Xuebao, Ziran Kexueban, 31(2) 96-98, (2005)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reaction scheme follows: &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Peine, &#039;&#039;Ber&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;17&#039;&#039;&#039;, 2117, (1884)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows: safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Peine, &#039;&#039;Ber&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;17&#039;&#039;&#039;, 2117, (1884)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows, safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Peine, &#039;&#039;Ber&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;17&#039;&#039;&#039;, 2117, (1884)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows, safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Peine, &#039;&#039;Ber&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;17&#039;&#039;&#039;, 2117, (1884)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;GB 504125 (1939 to I. G. Farben&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Synthesis by oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The alcohol is usually oxidised by an agent such as a chromium(VI) oxide-pyridine complex, which has been shown to be effective at oxidation at room temperature and selective towards the alcohol group rather than the double bond present. This method results in yield of 81% of the product.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Study of the Chromium(VI) Oxide-Pyridine Complex, Holum J. R., 26, 4814 (1961)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows, safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recent studies have shown that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial properties, particularly against the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is a major factor in many gastronomic diseases. It was found that cinnamaldehyde (along with eugenol) was effective in inhibiting all  strains  of H. pylori, increasing effectiveness at acidic pH. Furthermore, no resistance to this compound was seen even after 10 doses. This is of particular importance as the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium grows, safe and non-antibiotic methods of eradication are required.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005, 4:20&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-in/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides. It has shown particular effectiveness in its uses as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant and a dog and cat repellent. It has become increasingly popular due to its lack of unfroeseen adversable effects to humans, non-target organisms and the environment. In addition,  its status as a natural extract makes it less expensive to register under the US Environmental Protection Agency due to relaxed regulations regarding natural product based repellents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

Its use as a bird repellent has been considered, as it contains many of the chemical properties regarded as effetive in this area namely its planar structure; posession of a benxene ring; and its weak basicity at the carbonyl oxygen. However, studies showed that it lost effectiveness after the first day of the trial, suggesting that its potency is not sufficient for sustained use as a bird repellent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/63003418/PDFSTART&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the majority of cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves from the Cinnamonium tree, several synthetic methods have been devised. The most common of these are: by condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde; condensation of styrene and formyl methylaniline; and oxidation of the primary alcohol cinnamyl alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Antimicrobial Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pesticidal Properties==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cinnamaldehyde has been increasingly used as an alternative to conventional pesticides.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;

== [[Special:Export|Export Pages]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This takes you to an &#039;&#039;&#039;Export&#039;&#039;&#039; page. A backup of the Projects area can be made (in XML) if you want to keep your own &#039;&#039;snapshot&#039;&#039; of the project pages at any instant. After you Export the page you want (ie &#039;&#039;&#039;It:projects&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;It:Lignocaine&#039;&#039;&#039; for example) the XML encoding of it will appear in your browser Window. You should &#039;&#039;&#039;view source&#039;&#039;&#039; for this material, copy it to a text editor, and thence save it to disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overlaps ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else  starts editing a page at the same time as you,   the system will detect this and offer alternatives for you to deal with.  For example, it may suggest you copy the contents of the page you have been editing and merge it into the other person&#039;s page,&lt;br /&gt;
so that both the sets of edits are preserved.  Read the on-screen instructions carefully!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another precaution you could take is to keep a copy of the contents of the page you are editing in eg Wordpad (or Word),&lt;br /&gt;
make the changes there, and then copy the entire lot to the  Wiki page to preview and then save. That way, if your contribution&lt;br /&gt;
is overlapped by someone else, you will still have a copy, and you can then resubmit it.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cinnamaldehyde&#039;&#039;&#039; is an unsaturated aldehyde found in the bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. It is a component of the spice Cinnamon, which due to its distinctive flavour and aroma is a common component of among others,  foodstuffs, perfumes, and detergents. Cinnamaldehyde can be obtained naturally from the steam distillation of twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum.&lt;br /&gt;
