People seem to use DCM (dichloromethane) for this, but I was wondering if trichlroroethylene would also work.
Solvent for cinnamaldehyde extraction?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the extraction of cinnamaldehyde, with participants confirming the use of dichloromethane (DCM) as a common solvent. Trichloroethylene is suggested as a potential alternative, although less toxic solvents such as hexane and gasoline are also considered viable options. The consensus leans towards hexane for its effectiveness and lower toxicity. Participants agree on hexane as the preferred solvent for this extraction process.
