Reaction Steps

Employing the same general procedure as for the preparation 5-bromo-2-methoxy-4′-methylbenzophenone (Compound H), 1.0 mL (1.5 g, 8.0 mmol) of 4-bromoanisole was converted into the title compound using 0.5 g (4.0 mmol) of aluminum chloride, 1.3 mL (1.5 g, 9.6 mmol) of m-toluoyl chloride and 20 mL of dichloromethane. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, 10% ethyl acetate in hexane) gave the title compound as a white solid.
