Reaction Steps

Phenylglyoxal monohydrate (304 mg, 2 mM) and cumene (0.56 ml, 4 mM) were dissolved in dichloroethane (4 ml), titanium tetrachloride (0.33 ml, 3 mM) was added, and reacted at room temperature for 4 hours. Using the same procedure as in Example 1, 4'-iso-propylbenzoin was obtained as crystal (300.6 mg, 59.6% yield).
