Procedure
A mixture of homophthalic anhydride (40 g, 0.24 mole), aluminum chloride (48 g, 0.36 mole) and heptylbenzene (400 ml) is heated (90° C. for 90 minutes). The reaction mixture is poured into a mixture of ice water (800 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (200 g) and stirred overnight. The product is extracted with ether (3×300 ml). The extracts are combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue is crystallized from heptane to provide 2-(4-n-heptylphenacyl)benzoic acid (10.4 g) as a white crystalline solid, m.p. 128°-131° C.
