Acetophenone → HCID 231770, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxide (1.8 g, 45 mmol) and 4-bromoacetophenone (7.12 g, 36 mmol) were dissolved in water (18 mL) and ethanol (50 mL). 4-Bromo benzaldehyde (6.62 g, 36 mmol) dissolved in ethanol (20 mL) was added dropwise to the acetophenone solution. A slurry quickly formed, which was allowed to stir overnight. The slurry was filtered, was with water until the filtrate was neutral to pH paper, and dried at 100° C. for 12 hours. A light tan solid was obtained (12.8 g, 97% yield).
