The Claisen–Schmidt condensation of benzaldehydes with acetophenones was carried out in an aqueous medium using sodium butylmonoglycolsulfate (NaBMGS) and sodium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids as hydrotropes. Substantial enhancement in the rate of the reaction was obtained, along with the easy recovery of the product. Recycling of the hydrotrope solutions has been tested without any loss in the rate of the reaction.
