Reaction Steps

2 g of 4-hydroxybenzophenone was dissolved in 20 ml dichloromethane and 2.12 ml diisopropylamine, and then stirred with 0.9 ml chloromethyl methyl ether at room temperature for 16 hours. Dichloromethane and water were added to the reaction mixture, which was then extracted with dichloromethane three times, washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered off and the solvent was evaporated to give 4-(methoxymethoxy)benzophenone as an oil quantitatively. Yield: 2.44 g.
