Reaction Steps

The sodium salt of 2-[1-(ethoxyimino)propyl]-3-hydroxy-5-(5-indanyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (0.95 mmole) was dissolved in acetone (50 ml) and benzoyl chloride (0.13 g; 0.95 mmole) was added dropwise over a period of 2 minutes. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes, then filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 3-benzoyl-2-[1-(ethoxyimino)propyl]-5-(5-indanyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (0.31 g; 75.7%) as a yellow oil.
