Condensation of cyclopropyl methyl ketone with aromatic aldehydes gave 1-Aryl-3-cyclopropyl-prop-1-ene-3-ones (I). Addition reactions of bromine, hydrazine, and some active methylene compounds to (I) have been investigated. Structures of the products have been established by elemental analysis, IR, and PMR spectroscopic methods.
