Procedure

A mixture of 1-(4-methylthiophenyl)-2-butanone from Step 2 (9.74 g, 50 mmol), benzaldehyde (5.85 g, 55 mmol) and piperidine (0.5 mL) in toluene (200 mL) was heated at reflux with a Dean-Stark trap for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled and solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was washed successively with saturated ammonium chloride solution, water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The crude pentenone was recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexane to give 8.64 g of 2-(4-methylthiophenyl)-1-phenyl-1-pentene-3-one (60%) as light yellow crystals: mp 98°-99° C. Anal. Calc'd. for C18H18OS: C, 76.56; H, 6.42; N, 11.35. Found: C, 76.58; H, 6.17; N, 11.35.
