Phenol → 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenyl-2-propen-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.4 g (0.0443 mole) of 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylethanone, 6.23 g (0.0443 mole) of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 3.53 g (0.0415 mole) of piperidine in 19.3 ml of methanol was stirred at 35° and then kept overnight. It was worked up as under Example IA to give 14.5 g (83%) of crude product. 14 g (0.0333 mole) of the crude phenol was mixed with 140 ml of glacial acetic acid and refluxed for 4 hours. Work up as under Example IB followed by recrystallization from methanol gave 3.7 g (34%) of pure product, m.p. 179°-181°.
