Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.72 g of 4,4'-hydroxybiphenyl was put in an 100 ml two-necked. flask and dissolved by the addition of 60 ml of pyridine. The flask was set up in an ice bath. 3.41 g of 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride was added over 1.5 hours while maintaining the reaction mixture at -15° C. The mixture was reacted in the ice bath for 3 hours and then at an ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into chipped ice to obtain a white precipitate. This precipitate was filtered, dried and re-crystallized with acetone. The yield was 63% and 1HNMR and IR spectra of the product were as follows.
