Procedure

A mixture of 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-1-phenyl-1-pentanone (8.400 gm, 43.7 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (820 mg, 4.3 mmol) in benzene (210 ml) was refluxed in a Dean-Stark apparatus for 10 minutes. The solution was cooled, diluted with Et2O, and washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine. Filtration and removal of the solvent afforded a yellow oil which was subsequently distilled (P=2.0 mm, 97°-100° C.) to give the (E)-4-methyl-1-phenyl-2-penten-1-one (6.94 gm) as a colorless liquid. 1H-NMR analysis showed the distillate to be 78% the desired product and 22% the β, δ-unsaturated isomer. The material was used directly for the next reaction.
