Qasim Ali Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi I want to synthesize Benzalacetone I tried the following procedure but the product obtained was dibenzalacetone. Combined 1.9ml of benaldehyde, 0.8ml of acetone, 6ml of 5M NaOH 15ml of ethanol and stirred for 30 min. Washed the resulting crystals with distilled water, recrystallized in in ethanol, filtered and washed crystals with cold solution of ethanol/water (70:30). The mp was 98C.
