l-(4-Bromophenyl)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)butane-l,3-dione; Sodium hydride (60% dispersion, 3.80 g, 95.1 mmol) was added portionwise to methyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetate (10 g, 47.6 mmol) in Et2O (100 ml) at O0C. A solution of 4′-bromoacetophenone (9.48 g, 47.6 mmol) in Et2O (50 ml) was added dropwise over 1 h. The mixture was heated at reflux for 16 h, cooled, poured into ice/HCl (2 M), extracted with Et2O (3 x 100 ml), dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from MeOH to give the title compound (9 g, 50 %) as a tan powder.

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
