(E)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 52.0 g. (433 mmoles) of acetophenone is added to a solution of 21.8 g. (545 mmoles) of sodium hydroxide in a mixture of 196 ml. of water and 122.5 ml. of 95% ethanol stirred at 20°-25° C., the resulting suspension is cooled to 0°-5° C., and 53.74 g. (433 mmoles) of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde is added portionwise, the temperature of the reaction mixture rising to 20° C. during the addition. The solidified reaction mixture is kept at 20°-25° C. for 3 hours and refrigerated for 16 hours. The solid is collected by filtration, rinsed with about 2 l. of water until the rinses are neutral, rinsed with 200 ml. of cold 95% ethanol and recrystallized from 95% ethanol to obtain the product as yellow flakes (66.25 g. (68%)), m.p. 83°-86° C. the resulting suspension is cooled to 0°-5° C. the temperature of the reaction mixture rising to 20° C. during the addition The solidified reaction mixture refrigerated for 16 hours The solid is collected by filtration rinsed with about 2 l rinsed with 200 ml of cold 95% ethanol and recrystallized from 95% ethanol to obtain the product as yellow flakes (66.25 g. (68%)), m.p. 83°-86° C.

Procedure: A mixture of acetophenone (7.02 gm, 58.4 mmol), p-fluorobenzaldehyde (7.24 gm, 58.4 mmol) and concentrated H2SO4 (10 ml) in glacial HOAc (116 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The solution was poured into H2O (250 ml) and neutralized with 10% NaOH (200 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted once with Et2O and the Et2O layer was washed successively with H2O, saturated NaHCO3 (2×) and brine, then dried (MgSO4). Filtration and removal of the solvent afforded a yellow solid which was recrystallized from hot hexane to give (E)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-one (7.94 gm, 60%) as light yellow needles. The aqueous layer was extracted once with Et2O the Et2O layer was washed successively with H2O, saturated NaHCO3 (2×) and brine dried (MgSO4) Filtration and removal of the solvent afforded a yellow solid which was recrystallized from hot hexane
