Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal → 2-Propen-1-one, 1-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-(dimethylamino)-

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

10 g (0.053 mol) of 3', 5'-dichloroacetophenone are dissolved, at room temperature and with stirring, in 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. Stirring is maintained and the reaction mixture is heated for 2 h at 90° C. The mixture is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue is taken up in 150 ml of heptane. The orange residue is filtered to give 10.0 g (yield 77%, melting point: 100° C.) of 1-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-dimethylamino-2-propen-1-one.
