Reaction Steps

A solution of 31.6 g (0.15 mole) of 4-methyl-2-aminobenzophenone in 350 ml of glacial acetic acid and 175 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide was let stand at ambient temperature for 72 hr. The solution was poured into 3 liters of water and a solid gradually crystallized. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from 2-propanol. The precipitate was slurried in 200 ml of carbon tetrachloride and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to yield 10.5 g (35%) of title compound, m.p. 77.78° C. after recrystallization from 2-propanol.
