Reaktionsschritte

SnCl4 (47.5 ml, 0.41 mol) was added dropwise to a mixture of 4-methylanisol (100 g, 0.82 mol) and benzoyl (95.15 ml, 0.82 mol) in 500 ml of CH2Cl2 at 0° C. Once the addition is complete, it was allowed to react for 3-4 hours, allowing the mixture to reach room temperature. Once the reaction concluded, the mixture was cooled at 0° C., hydrolyzed with a mixture of concentrated HCl (41 ml) in H2O (376 ml), washed with 2×50 ml of NaOH (10%), dried and evaporated to give 140 g (78%) of the title compound in crystalline solid form.
