Reaction Steps

50 ml of water and 8 pellets of solid sodium hydroxide are added at room temperature to a mixture of 75 g (0.39 mol) of 1-phenylmercaptocyclopropyl methyl ketone, 56 g (0.39 mol) of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 200 ml of ethanol. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. The precipitated solid is then filtered off with suction. In this manner, 120.3 g (98% of theory) of 4-chlorophenyl-ethenyl 1-phenylmercapto-cyclopropyl ketone are obtained in the form of a solid substance.
