The synthesis of 4-phenyl buty-2-ketone from ethyl acetoacetate and benzyl chloride is a classical organic chemistry experiment, but the yield is only 20%-30% in practical teaching. This paper records the process of teachers guiding students to separate the byproduct in the experiment, determines it as 2,2-dibenzyl-3-oxybutyrate, analyzes the causes of the byproduct, and inspires the students to innovate the experimental method to increase the yield to 57.5%. This teaching practice not only guides students with regard to experimental innovation but also improves the scientific research literacy of students.
- 4-Phenyl buty-2-ketone,
- Experimental innovation,
- Improvement of reaction yield,
- Scientific research literacy
