4 methylpropiophenone synthesis

To synthesize 4-methylpropiophenone, mix acetophenone and isobutyraldehyde in a 1:1 ratio with an acid catalyst. Add a solvent and heat the mixture under reflux conditions for 4-6 hours. After cooling, extract the crude product with water, separate the organic layer, and dry it with drying agents. Optionally, purify the product through simple distillation.
