A mixture of methyl 2-(4-fluorobenzylidene)-3-oxopentanoate (52.0 g), benzaldehyde (25.4 g), triethylamine (22 g), 3,4-dimethyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazolium iodide (6.3 g) and ethanol (100 ml) was heated at reflux under nitrogen for 16 hours. The cooled mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, and washed with dilute hydrochloric acid (2N), with dilute aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and with water, and dried over magnesium sulphate. The solution was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in hot methanol. The resulting off-white solid was filtered off, to give methyl 2-(1-oxopropyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-phenyl-4-oxobutanoate (21.5 g), m.p. 104°-109° C.
