Reaction Steps

To an agitated mixture of lithium chloride (3.18 g., 0.075 mole) and aluminium chloride (20 g., 0.15 mol) in dichloroethane (20 ml) was slowly added diphenyl ether (8.51 g., 0.05 mole) and acetyl chloride (3.93 g., 0.05 mol) in dichloroethane (7 ml) following the procedure of example 12. The 4-phenoxyacetophenone obtained (9.57 g., 90.3% yield, m.p. 43.5°-51° C. had 1H NMR purity of 90%.
