Production of Benzylidene Acetone
The method takes substituted benzaldehyde and acetone as raw materials according to the working principle of the antiknock agent; substituted benzylidene acetone is synthesized under the catalysis of a catalyst, and condensation is further carried out on the product and an amine compound, so that the benzylidene acetone can be obtained.
