Reaction Steps

A sodium hydroxide solution (5.5 ml., 20%) is added to a solution of p-chlorobenzaldehyde (14.06 g., 0.1 mole) and 3-phenyl-6-(o-methylphenyl)-5-hexen-2-one (26.4 g., 0.1 mole) in ethanol (260 ml.) with stirring. The yellowish solid that separates on continued stirring is filtered and air-dried, yield 22.5 g., m.p. 60°-76°C. Recrystallization from hexane gives material with m.p. 79°-82°C.
