Reaktionsschritte

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde (1e, 0.63 ml, 5.2 mmol) and acetone (19, 4.00 ml, 54.0 mmol) were combined in ethanol (4 ml) and stirred for 15 min at room temperature. A solution of sodium hydroxide (0.40 g, 10.0 mmol) and water (4 ml) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred for 1 hr at room temperature. The resulting mixture was extracted into ethyl acetate, washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford a solid. The crude solid was recrystallized from ether/hexane to give 0.57 g (62%) of a yellow solid: mp 71-73° C. [expected mp 68° C.]; 1H NMR: δ 2.34 (s, 3H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 6.59 (d, 1H, J=16.3 Hz), 6.90 (d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.46 (d, 1H, J=16.3 Hz), 7.48 (d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz); 13C NMR: δ 27.5, 55.4, 114.4, 125.0, 127.1, 129.9, 143.1, 161.5, 198.1.
