Procedure

A mixture of 1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]pentane-1,4-dione (3 g, 11.8 mmol), 4-bromoaniline (2.03 g, 11.8 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (150 mg) in toluene (250 mL) was heated at reflux temperature using Dean-Stark apparatus. After cooling down, volatiles were removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/3) to give the subtitle compound (2.5 g, 54% yield).
