Reaction Steps

A slurry of 3-(3-oxo-3-phenyl-1-propenyl)-benzoic acid (2.84 g, 11.26 mmol) in methanol (150 mL) is treated with a few drops of sulfuric acid and heated under reflux for 8 hours. Upon cooling, a solid forms which is collected by filtration and washed thoroughly with methanol to provide 0.9 g of the title compound.
