Hello Sushmita
The Perkin reaction is used to convert an aromatic aldehyde and an anhydride to an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid using sodium acetate.

Ester can be condensed with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of alkoxides; thus benzaldehyde and ethylacetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide, give ethyl cinnamate,
C6H5CH = CHCOOC2H5.
