Reaction Steps

Demethylation of 114 g 3,4'-dimethoxy-4-methyl-benzophenone (0.445 mole) was effected by refluxing 15 hr. with a previously prepared mixture of 313.5 ml of 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid, 148 ml of acetic anhydride, and 148 ml of acetic acid. The isolated product melted at 173°-174° C. Recrystallization from ethanol/water yielded 79 g (0.346 mole) of 3,4'-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzophenone melting at 174°-175° C.
