Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the method of production of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2'-methoxybenzophenone (4a) and 2,4-dimethoxy-2'-hydroxybenzophenone (4b), 2.00 g (13.14 mmol) of 2-methoxybenzoic acid was reacted with 2.19 g (13.04 m mol) of 1,3,5-trimethoxy benzene to give 2.20 g (7.75 mmol) of 3,4-dimethoxy-2-hydroxy-2'-methoxybenzophenone and 2,3,4-trimethoxy-2'-hydroxybenzophenone. Then, described in example 3, 1.35 g (5.92 m mol) of 3,4-dihydroxybenzophenone as pale yellow powder was produced. The physical properties were measured and are listed below.
