Reaktionsschritte

To a one-liter glass reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, condenser, thermometer and addition funnel was charged 300 mls freshly distilled carbon tetrachloride. The flask and its contents were cooled to 0°-5° C. and 40 grams (0.30 mole) AlCl3 added slowly. This was followed by the dropwise addition of 42 grams (0.30 mole) benzoyl chloride and then 26.9 grams (0.075 mole) phenylstearic acid. The mixture was maintained at 0°-5° C. for one hour with agitation and then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. A yield of 40.4 percent crude benzoylphenylstearic acid was obtained upon work up of the reaction mixture.
