Synthesis of Dicinnamalacetone

Corrosive Chemistry - 2020-12-19

The synthesis of dicinnamalacetone via a double aldol condensation of cinnamaldehyde with acetone. I plan to use this compound in an upcoming video if the next couple of steps in the total synthesis work out well.https://www.patreon.com/corrosion

Cool vid! A tip: to boost yield, it could be a good idea to add water dropwise into boiling ethanol during recrystallization until light precipitation occurs, then cooling the whole thing in freezer. Nearly all impurities will remain in ethanol-water solution.

Good tip!

Nice synthesis bro, it looks similar to the product of the condensation of malononitrile with vanillin ( sorry for My Bad English)

Someone have a cientific reference about the natural source or presence of dicinnamalacetone? Thank you all.
