Procedure
A solution of 4-pyrridylacetone (Example A-5, step 1) (0.75 g, 5.56 mmol), o-tolualdehyde (0.73 g, 5.56 mmol) and piperidine (100 mg) in toluene (50 ml) was heated to reflux. Water generated during the reaction was removed by a Dean-Stark trap. After heating at reflux for 5 hours, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The mixture was concentrated to an orange color oily residue. The crude ketone was purified by chromatography to give 4-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(4-pyridyl)-3-butene-2-one: Anal. Calc'd for C16H15NO (237.30): C, 80.98; H, 6.37; N, 5.90. Found: C, 80.78; H, 6.61; N, 5.85.
