Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.1 g (0.03 mol) 3-benzyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolium chloride, 180 ml triethylamine, 150 ml ethanol, 21 g of 1-butene-3-one (0.3 mol) and 30.7 g of benzaldehyde (0.29 mol) was gently stirred at 80° C. for 16 hours. Volatile components were removed by evaporation. The 1-phenyl-1,4-pentanedione thus formed was recovered by extraction and subsequent vacuum distillation.
