Procedure

60.6 g (324.2 mmol) of 2-bromoanisole was added dropwise to a dichloromethane solution (350 ml) containing 51.8 g (388.6 mmol) of aluminum chloride and 45.6 g (324.3 mmol) of benzoyl chloride which was cooled to 0° C. After addition, the resulting mixture was stirred for 2 hours. After a reaction, the reaction solution was washed with water, the solvent was removed, and the obtained product was purified by column chromatography to obtain a benzophenone derivative represented by the following formula (21) as 61.3 g (210.7 mmol, yield of 75%) of a yellow solid.
