Reaction Steps

To a round bottomed flask was added EtOH (20 mL) and potassium hydroxide (320.0 mg, 8 mmol). The mixture was stirred until homogeneous before benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde (0.83 mL, 4.0 mmol) and 1-(2-isobutoxyphenyl)ethanone (770 mg, 4 mmol) were added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, and 5 mL of water was added. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1N HCl until pH=6. The resulting orange precipitate was filtered and submitted to the next step without further purification. MS (EI) for C20H20O4: 325 (MH+).
