HCID 3102BenzophenoneYield 86%

Procedure

The same oxidation reaction of diphenyl methane as set forth in Example 19a was carried out using acetonitrile and water in place of acetone and water as the reaction solvents. All other reactants and processing conditions remained the same. Again, 0.7 g of starting material was recovered and 0.92 g of benzophenone was obtained, resulting in an identical yield of 86% based on 59% conversion.

Workup

  1. customAgain, 0.7 g of starting material was recovered
