Procedure

To a stirred solution of 4-hydroxyaniline (1 g. 9.1 mmol.) in acetic acid (10 ml), activated silferc (1.46 g. ferric chloride 9.1 mmol) was added under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) (0.70 g, 10.1 mmol) was added slowly over a period of 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. and maintained between 70-75° C. for one hour. Anhydrous zinc chloride (1.24 g. 9.1 mmol) was added and the reaction was further refluxed for two hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered, basified with 10% NaOH solution, extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml), dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to give the product; Yield 65%.
