참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (30 g, 220 mmol), benzaldehyde (23.3 g, 220 mmol) and borax (84 g, 220 mmol) in ethanol (180 mL) and H2O (300 mL) was refluxed for one day. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with an equal volume of H2O, and extracted with ether. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated. The residue was purified by column to give 2-phenylchroman-4-one (20 g, 40%).
