The reaction conditions of the key step-Aldol Addition, including catalyst, ratio of substrates, temperature, solvent and time were optimized. Results showed that the optimal condition of the key step were as follows: catalyst Ba(OH)2, solvent MeOH, M(4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde):M(2,4-Dihydroxyacetophenone)=1.8∶1, tempetature 45℃, and time 12 h. Under the optimal conditions, the yield of the reaction achieved the highest(77.9%). In addition, the reaction system was simple and easily purified. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2009.05.024
