## Abstract The oxidation of cinnamaldehyde (3βphenylβ2βpropenal) by alkaline peroxide results in epoxidation of the double bond to form cinnamaldehyde epoxide (3βphenylβ2,3βepoxyβpropanal) which undergoes further reaction by ring opening and side chain cleavage to yield benzaldehyde and acidic fra
