Participants

Reaction Steps

0.25 mol (23 mL) of POCl3 was added at 0° C. to a 0.3 mol (23.5 mL) of DMF. At the end of the addition, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 h. Then it was cooled again to 0° C. and treated with 0.1 mol (19.6 g) of deoxybenzoin. The resulting reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature, stirred for 12 h at the same temperature and subsequently heated at 100° C. for 2 h. Finally it was poured into a mixture of ice and 10% solution of sodium acetate in water. The oily precipitate was filtered and washed with cold methanol and hexane. The residue was crystallized. Yield 18.5 g (76%).
