Reaction Steps

50 ml of water and 10 pellets of solid sodium hydroxide are added at room temperature to a mixture of 60 g (0.5 mol) of 1-chlorocyclopropylmethyl ketone, 70 g (0.5 mol) of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 250 ml of ethanol. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The precipitated solid is then filtered off with suction. In this manner, 108.5 g (89% of theory) of 1-chlorocyclopropyl 4-chlorophenyl-ethenyl ketone are obtained in the form of a solid substance of melting point 92° C.
