Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a round-bottomed flask provided with magnetic stirrer and reflux condenser or in a 100 ml autoclave, 5.0 g (32.3 mmol) of p-chloroacetophenone, 45 g of isopropyl alcohol and 1.0 g of catalyst were heated under reflux or at 120° C. After the end of the reaction time, the reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography and the yield was determined. The results are summarized in Table 3 below:
