Participants

Reaction Steps

23.36 g (233 mmol) Acetylacetone, 5.00 g (47 mmol) 3-methylaniline, and 0.8 g (4.7 mmol) 4-toluenesulfonic acid are dissolved in 50 ml toluene. The reaction mixture is refluxed overnight with a Dean-Stark trap to remove water. After cooling down to room temperature, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica with cyclohexane/ethylacetate mixtures as eluent.
