Procedure

To a solution of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (17.0 g, 113.0 mmol) in methanol (240 mL) was added a solution of 2-furaldehyde (12.0 g, 125.0 mmol) in methanol (240 mL) followed by the addition of sodium methoxide (6.10 g, 113.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h, and then was neutralized with HCl aq. (6.0 M, 18.8 mL). The volatile was removed in vacuum. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (500 mL), washed with water (250 mL) and brine (250 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA=5:1˜3:1) to afford 3-(furan-2-yl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (25B) as a yellow solid (23.80 g, 92%).
