Procedure

3-Fluorobenzaldehyde (1s, 0.5 ml, 4.7 mmol) and acetone (19, 0.18 ml, 2.3 mmol) were combined in ethanol (20 ml) and stirred for 10 min at room temperature. A solution of sodium hydroxide (0.29 g, 7.3 mmol) and water (15 ml) was added and the mixture stirred for 18 hr at room temperature. The resulting mixture was filtered and chromatographed on silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane to give a solid. The crude was recrystallized from ethanol to afford 0.26 g (42%) of yellow crystals: mp 96-97° C. [expected mp 96-97° C.]; 1H NMR: δ 7.03 (d, 2H, J=16.1 Hz), 7.09 (m, 2H), 7.35 (m, 6H), 7.67 (d, 2H, J=15.9 Hz); 13C NMR: δ 114.4, 117.5, 124.4, 126.3, 130.4, 136.9, 142.0, 162.9, 188.1; Anal. Calcd for C17H12OF2: C, 75.55; H, 4.48. Found: C, 75.26; H, 4.65.
