Procedure: A solution of 4-isobutylacetophenone (2.0 g), 3-benzyl-3H-imidazole-4-carbaldehyde (2.1 g) and 48% sodium hydroxide (0.65 ml) in methanol (20 ml) is heated at 55-60° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is then cooled in an ice bath. The resulting precipitate is filtered, and rinsed with methanol. The yield is 2.5 g. The reaction mixture is then cooled in an ice bath The resulting precipitate is filtered rinsed with methanol

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

Procedure: Isobutylbenzene (IBB) (10.2 lb/hr) and a solution of HF containing 13 wt % HOAc and 12 wt % acetyl fluoride (AcF) (153 lb/hr) were fed into reactor 1 through line 4. The mixture was reacted at 60° C. for 1.5 hrs to produce the desired 4-isobutylacetophenone product. were fed into reactor The mixture was reacted at 60° C. for 1.5 hrs

Procedure: Bromine (1.25 ml; 25 mmol) is added dropwise to a solution of 4′-isobutylacetophenone (3.52 g; 20 mmol) in 60 ml of ethanol cooled down to approximately 5° C. After stirring the reaction mixture for 30 minutes at this temperature, stirring is continued for one hour at ambient temperature. The reaction medium, to which small portions of toluene are added, is concentrated to dryness. After purification on a silica column (eluent: ethyl-heptane acetate: 5-95), a colourless oil is obtained with a yield of 57%. stirring is continued for one hour at ambient temperature is concentrated to dryness After purification on a silica column (eluent: ethyl-heptane acetate: 5-95) a colourless oil is obtained with a yield of 57%

Procedure: 24.8 g (0.2 mole) of thioanisole was heated to 90° C. with stirring, 27.8 g (0.22 mole) of dimethyl sulfate was added thereto at 90°-95° C. over a period of 30 minutes and stirred for another 30 minutes at the same temperature. To the reaction mixture, 100 ml of toluene was added portionwise so as to maintain the temperature above 80° C. and then the mixture was cooled gradually with stirring to afford a suspension of phenyldimethylsulfonium methylsulfate in quantititative yield. To the suspension, 26.4 g (0.15 mole) of p-isobutylacetophenone and 16.0 g (0.4 mole) of powdered sodium hydroxide was added and the mixture was stirred for 8 hours at 50° C. The reaction mixture was worked up in the same manner as described in Example 6 to afford 24.7 g of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-1,2-epoxypropane in 86.7% yield. stirred for another 30 minutes at the same temperature to maintain the temperature above 80° C. the mixture was cooled gradually with stirring to afford the mixture was stirred for 8 hours at 50° C
