Procedure

Ethyl trifluoroacetate (23.52 g, 166 mmol) was dissolved in methyl tert-butyl ether (75 mL). To the stirred solution was added 25 weight % sodium methoxide (40 mL, 177 mmol). 4′-Chloroacetophenone (23.21 g, 150 mmol) was dissolved in methyl tert-butyl ether (20 mL) and added to the reaction dropwise. After stirring overnight (15.75 hours), 3N HCl (70 mL) was added. The organic layer was collected, washed with brine (75 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow-orange solid. The solid was recrystallized from isooctane to give the dione (31.96 g, 85%): mp 66-67° C.
