Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,5-difluorophthalaldehyde (Compound 22) (0.48 g, 2.8 mmol, 2 molar equivalents) and 1,4-cyclohexanedione (0.16 g, 1.4 mmol, 1 molar equivalent) in ethanol (40 ml) was added a solution of 5% aqueous NaOH (0.6 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature and then warmed to 60° C. After 1 hour at 60° C., the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water (15 ml), ethanol (30 ml) and diethyl ether (30 ml) to give the title compound as a yellow powder (0.35 g, 64%) used as obtained.
