Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-formylbenzoic acid (2 g, 13.32 mmol), acetophenone (1.6 g, 13.32 mmol), and sodium hydroxide (1.06 g, 26.64 mmol) is stirred 18 hours in ethanol-water (175 mL, 1:1) and then acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resulting solid is collected by filtration and dried to provide 2.84 g of the title compound; mp 198°-201° C.
