After addition was complete the mixture was heated under reflux for a further hour and then cooled to 0° C. 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde (120.0 g, 0.854 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (780 ml) was added over a period of 2 hours. After a further hour the solution was decanted from the excess magnesium into saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and the magnesium washed with ether. 2M Hydrochloric acid was added to dissolve the precipitate and the mixture extracted with ether. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried and evaporated in vacuo. Partial purification was achieved by chromatography [SiO2, hexane-ethyl acetate mixtures] to give 3-methyl-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-but-1-en-4-ol (118.45 g, approximately 90% pure, approximately 64%).
