Reaktionsschritte

2,2'-Dihydroxybenzophenone (10.0 g, 46.7 mmol) and diiodomethane (13.1 g, 49 mmol) was dissolved in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (180 ml). Dried finely powdered potassium carbonate (9.2 g, 66.7 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 105° C. for 16 h. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was poured into ice water (500 ml). The precipitate was collected by filtration after 0.5 h, washed with water on the filter and dissolved in a mixture of ethanol (80 ml) and 4 N sodium hydroxide (20 ml). The solution was stirred at reflux temperature for 1 h, cooled and diluted with water (300 ml). The formed crystalline precipitate was filtered off, washed with water (50 ml) and dried in vacuo, affording 12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3]dioxocin-12-one as a solid (9.5 g, 90%).
