Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2 ml of the stock solution described in Example 23 are added to 18 ml of DMF. 9.26 g (50 mmols) of 4-bromobenzaldehyde, 5.58 ml (55 mmols) of cyclohexene and 4.52 g (55 mmols) of anhydrous sodium acetate are then added and the reaction mixture is stirred for 8 hours at 140° C. in a pressure tube. After working up as described in Example 1, the crude product is distilled in vacuo. 2.05 g (11.0 mmols) of 4-formylphenylcyclohexene are obtained in the form of a yellow liquid of boiling point 140°-150° C./2400 Pa; yield 22% of theory (conversion figure 2200; Pd content 0.01 mol %). The product is a mixture of isomers.
