Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of aluminium chloride (0.15 mole) in cyclohexylbenzene (0.5 mole) at 10°-15° C. was added dropwise methyl vinyl ketone. The resulting mixture was left overnight at room temperature and worked up as above. The crude ketone was purified by distillation, b.p. 150-60 (2 mm), followed by column chromatography using silica as support and petrol/ethyl acetate as eluants.
