Procedure
2-bromo-1,3-dimethoxybenzene (217 g; 1.0 mole) and 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride (158 g; 1.0 mole) are dissolved in 1,2-dichorothane and aluminum chloride (133 g; 1,0 mole) is added slowly. The reaction mixture is refluxed for 2 hours and then worked up with 5% hydrochloric acid. In this way a 1:2 mixture of 5-bromo-2'-fluoro-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone and 3-bromo-2'fluoro-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone is obtained, as indicated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). A quantity of this mixture is separated by preparative high pressure liquid chromatography into its two components, 5-bromo-2'-fluoro-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, m.p. 127°-129° C. and 3-bromo-2'-fluoro-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, m.p. 137°-139° C.
