Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (1.45 ml) was added to 4-acetonylbenzoic acid (3.56 g) in benzene and the mixture refluxed for 1 hour. Benzene was evaporated to give the title compound as a yellow oil, 2.61 g, (bp 135°-140°/0.5 mm). γ (CDCl3) 7.78 (3H, s), 6.17 (2H, s), 2.63 (2H, d, J=9 Hz), 1.88 (2H, d, J=9 Hz).
