Abstract

Ionization energies for several methoxy-substltuted (€)-3-aryipropenoic aclds and methyl (€)- 3-arylpropenoates were experhentally determined by mass spectroscopy. The tRle compounds were prepared In excellent yield by Knoevenagel condensation of an aromatic aldehyde wlth malonlc acid and by Fischer esterlflcatlon of the acid wlth methanol.
