Reaction Steps

A mixture of 25 g. of p-methoxyacetophenone and 25 ml. of dimethylformamide dimethylacetal is refluxed for 9 hours. Evaporation gives an oil which crystallized on the addition of hexane. Recrystallization from methylene chloride and hexane gives the desired compound, m.p. 92°-95° C.
