Possible Phenylacetone Synthesis from cinnamaldehyde

Possible Phenylacetone Kitchen Synthesis from Cinnamaldehyde starting with Decarboxylation

Well, it is known that phenylalanine can simply be decarboxylated to phenethylamine just by boiling it for 15-30 minutes or so via carbon dioxide bubbles. But what if we did this to cinnamaldehyde? And then somehow added a ester or an acetate group? Could this be a possible easy 2-step phenylacetone synthesis in our hands?? I think it is very likely. I will post some source links below, the proof that you can do it with phenylalanine to pea etc. My theory is you can extract (or buy) the cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon with ethanol (vodka etc)- you'd keep the paste btw, not the liquid. Then boil it in lime or lemon juice until the juice has all evaporated to yield some form of a benzene. Next, you add an ester, maybe with ethyl acetate? If this is true, then, right here, you would have phenylacetone!!! If this is done by anyone just remember this is only THEORETICAL and that phenylacetone is possible illegal in many places, pretty sure USA is a definite without a license... SO check your laws and be safe!!!!!
