Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a dry three-neck-flask, 1.5 g (3.4 mmol) triphenylbismuth dissolved in 5 ml dioxane is added to a solution of 2.31 g (10.2 mmol) benzoylbenzoic acid in 3 ml dioxane under argon and the resulting solution is heated to 110° C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture is cooled to room temperature and concentrated yielding 1.5 g of the product. The structure is confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra.
