2,4-Dimethylacetophenone (44ak, 1.48 g, 10.0 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (0.54 g, 13.5 mmol) were combined in methanol (30 ml) and stirred for 30 min at room temperature. A solution of benzaldehyde (1b, 1.02 ml, 10.0 mmol) and methanol (30 ml) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred for 18 hr at room temperature. Water (25 ml) was added and the mixture neutralized with hydrochloric acid (1 N). The mixture was extracted into ethyl acetate, washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford an oil. The crude oil was distilled bulb to bulb to give 1.98 g (84%) of a yellow oil: [expected mp 68° C.]; 1H NMR δ 2.37 (s, 3H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 7.05 (m, 2H), 7.16 (d, 1H, J=16.1 Hz), 7.38 (m, 3H), 7.49 (d, 1H, J=15.9 Hz), 7.54 (m, 3H); 13C NMR: δ 20.4, 21.4, 126.0, 126.6, 128.2, 128.5, 128.8, 130.4, 132.2, 134.7, 136.1, 137.4, 140.8, 145.0, 195.6.
