The mixture is stirred for a further 14 hours at room temperature. 50 ml of water are added, and the oil phase is separated off and taken up in dichloromethane. The organic phase is washed using water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure. In this manner, 80 g (97% of theory) of 2,4-dichlorophenyl-ethenyl 1-propylmercaptocyclopropyl ketone (cis-trans isomers) are obtained in the form of an oily product.
