The mixture was heated to reflux (135° C.), and then a solution of acetophenone (32.4 g, 0.27 mol) in xylene (19.1 g) was added over 1.25 h. The mixture was kept at reflux for an additional 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched by the careful addition of methanol (20 mL), and then acidified with 150 g/L sulfuric acid (180 mL). After separation of layers, the organic phase was washed with water (2×100 mL) and brine (100 mL). After drying by passing through anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solution was concentrated in vacuo at 70° C. down to 12 mbar to yield an orange liquid containing product in a crude yield of 63%. Vacuum distillation (200 mtorr) through a 15 cm Vigreux column yielded the product in the heart cut: 1-phenyl-3-neoheptyl-1,3-propanedione (37.2 g, 96% pure, 0.14 mol; 53% yield; bp: 94-135° C.). Dypnone was undetectable in the product.
