Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared from 3-ethylphenol (12.2 g), 3-fluorobenzoyl chloride (17.5 g) and aluminium chloride (26.7 g) in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (75 ml) using the same conditions as in Example 2, but heating under reflux, not at 105° C. The product was purified by chromatography on a silica column m.p. between 0° and 20° C. ηo22 1.5962. The same product was obtained using the method of Example 4.
