Reaction Steps

Phenylglyoxal monohydrate (304 mg, 2 mM) and n-hexylbenzene (0.76 ml, 4 mM) were dissolved in dichloroethane (3 ml), titanium tetrachloride (0.33 ml, 3 mM) was added, and reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. Using the same procedure as in Example 1, 4'-n-hexylbenzoin was obtained as crystal (352.8 mg, 59.4% yield).
