A mixture of dilinoleyl ketone (III, 0.80 g, 1.5 mmol), 1,3,5-pentanetriol (II, 0.54 g, 4.5 mmol) and pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (60 mg, 0.24 mmol) in 150 mL of toluene was refluxed under nitrogen overnight with a Dean-Stark tube to remove water. The resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature. The organic phase was washed with water (2×75 mL), brine (75 mL), and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Evaporation of the solvent resulted in pale oil (1.1 g). The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (230-400 mesh, 75 mL) with 0-3% methanol gradient in dichloromethane as eluent. This afforded 0.75 g (79%) of pure IV as colourless oil.
