Product 1

HCID 40956574-Fluoro-4'-(phenylethynyl)benzophenone

Procedure

4-bromo-4′-fluorobenzophenone: fluorobenzene (6.89 g, 71.7 mmol), 4-bromobenzoyl chloride (7.86 g, 35.8 mmol), and aluminum chloride (4.78 g, 35.8 mmol) were combined and stirred for 24 h at room temperature. The resulting mixture was poured over ice, and then filtered. The solid was dissolved in hot ethanol, treated with decolorizing charcoal, and filtered; white crystals of the title compound formed upon cooling of the ethanol solution and were isolated by filtration.
