Participants

Reaction Steps

In a bottle were combined 1-(5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (8.63 g, 37.15 mmol), benzaldehyde (3.94 g, 37.15 mmol), EtOH (96%, 45 mL) and NaOH (13.08 g, 327 mmol). The mixture was stirred vigorously for 0.5 h. and then filtered. The mixture was poured into HCl (1 N, 50 mL) and filtered. The solid was dried to give 1-(5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (10.8 g, 91%).
