Procedure

A mixture of 5.4 gm (0.05 moles) of anisole and 7.0 gm (0.05) moles of benzoyl chloride and 0.5 gm of boron carbide was placed in 50 ml of benzene. This mixture was allowed to react as described in Example 3. A yield of 48.2% of p-methoxy benzophenone was obtained, and 0.5 gm of the boron carbide catalysts was recovered.
