反応手順

3,4-Dimethoxy-4′-phenylbenzophenone was prepared analogously to 3,4,3′,4′-tetramethoxybenzophenone using veratrole (2.4 g, 17 mmol), aluminum chloride (2.5 g, 19 mmol) and 4-biphenylcarbonyl chloride (4 g, 18 mmol) with a reaction time of 24 hours at room temperature. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 2% ethyl acetate/methylene chloride) to afford 3.86 g (70%) of the product as a white solid: mp 103-104° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.88-7.84 (m, 2 H), 7.73-7.64 (m, 4 H), 7.52-7.40 (m, 5 H), 6.93-6.90 (m, 1 H), 3.97 (s, 3 H), 3.96 (s, 3 H); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 194.9, 152.9, 148.9, 144.5, 139.8, 136.8, 130.2, 130.2, 128.8, 127.9, 127.1, 126.7, 125.2, 112.0, 109.7, 55.9, 55.9; Anal. Calcd for C21H18O3. Theoretical: C, 79.23; H, 5.70. Found: C, 78.91; H, 5.87.
