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

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

Procedure: In a 1 L flask, 46.9 g (154 mmol) of (2E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one were dissolved in 450 g of methanol, admixed with 46.9 g (768 mmol) of nitromethane and 56.2 g (768 mmol) of diethylamine and refluxed for 16 h. The solvent was half distilled off in vacuo and the precipitated solid was separated off and dried to constant weight in vacuo to obtain 46 g (132 mmol) of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-4-nitro-3-phenylbutan-1-one. refluxed for 16 h distilled off in vacuo the precipitated solid was separated off dried to constant weight in vacuo

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

Procedure: In a 500 mL flask, 99.4 g (0.50 mol) of 4-bromoacetophenone and 53.0 g (0.5 mol) of benzaldehyde were initially charged and dissolved in 50 g of methanol. The mixture was admixed with 6.7 g (0.025 mol) of 15% strength aqueous sodium hydroxide solution carefully added dropwise at 20-25° C. and subsequently stirred for 3 h. The reaction mixture was neutralized with glacial acetic acid and filtered and the solid was dried in vacuo to obtain 107 g (351 mmol) of (2E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one. carefully added dropwise at 20-25° C. filtered the solid was dried in vacuo
