Reaction Steps

Phenylglyoxal monohydrate (304 mg, 2 mM) and n-propylbenzene (0.56 ml, 4 mM) were dissolved in dichloroethane (6 ml), titanium tetrachloride (0.33 ml, 3 mM) was added, and reacted at room temperature for 2 hours. Using the same procedure as in Example 1, 4'-n-propylbenzoin was obtained as crystal (369.9 mg, 71.9% yield).
