Reaction Steps

To a vigorously stirred, ice-cooled solution of propionyl chloride (1407 g, 14.8 moles) in 3A sieve-dried chloroform (3000 ml) was added zinc chloride (7.4 g) followed by the dropwise addition (exotherm) of isobutyraldehyde (1132 g, 14.8 moles) at such a rate that the temperature was maintained at 25° C. (three hours).
