Reaktionsschritte

70 ml of water are added to a solution of 90 g (0.64 mol) of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 68.5 g (0.6 mol) of 2-heptanone in 300 ml of ethanol and directly thereafter a solution of 1.7 g of sodium hydroxide in 17 ml of water is added. The mixture is initially stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, then 0.6 g of solid sodium hydroxide is added and the mixture is stirred for a further 64 hours. The precipitated product is filtered off with suction, washed with 1 liter of water, pressed out on a clay plate and then dried in vacuo for 16 hours over phosphorus pentoxide. 135 g (95.1% of theory) of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-octen-3-one are obtained in the form of a pale yellow solid of melting point 44°-47° C.
