Procedure

To 7.5 g (0.384 mole) of magnesium turnings in 150 ml of ether is added a 10.0 g (0.051 mole) portion of α,2,4-trichlorotoluene and a few crystals of iodine. When the iodine color has dissipated, the reaction is warmed to reflux, and 58.0 g (0.297 mole) of additional α,2,4-trichlorotoluene in 50 ml of ether is added at such a rate that the refluxing is maintained. When the addition is complete, the reaction is stirred at reflux for 2 hours and cooled. To this reaction mixture is added 17.0 g (0.197 mole) of valeraldehyde, and the reaction is heated again at reflux for 2 hours. The reaction is cooled and poured into ice cold dilute hydrochloric acid, and the organic phase is separated. The aqueous solution is extracted with ether, and the extract is combined with the organic phase. After a water wash, the organic solution is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and stripped of solvent to give 57.2 g of crude product. A distillation provides 11.3 g (23%) of the product. Purity is determined by glc.
