Procedure

C-1) A Gringnard reagent consisting of 0.2 mol of 4-trimethylsilylchlorobenzene and 0.2 mol of magnesium was prepared in tetrahydrofuran, mixed with 0.2 mol of 4-methylbenzaldehyde and subjected to Oppenauer oxidation reaction to obtain 4-methyl-4'-trimethylsilylbenzophenone represented by the following chemical structural formula: ##STR19## The reaction product was actually used in the form of a 15% solution in isopropyl alcohol.
