“…According to the MS data of GCMS, the molecular weight of 5b is 190, which corresponds to the molecular formula of C12H14O2. A prominent peak appears at m/z 161, indicating the loss of C2H5 from the structure, where a peak at m/z 161 usually suggests the presence of p-methoxylcinnamic moiety in the structure [26]. The 1 H-NMR spectrum exhibited the presence of four integrated protons at 6.91 (2H, d, J = 9 Hz, 2CH-Ar), 7.50 (2H, d, J = 9, 2CH-Ar), two trans-coupled peaks at 6.63 (1H, d, J = 16 Hz, =CH) and 7.52 (1H, d, J = 16 Hz, =CH), three integrated protons at 3.86 (3H, s, OCH3), indicating the presence of p-methoxy cinnamic acid moiety [26].…”
