HCID 21459095, compound → Methanone, (3-methoxyphenyl)[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

52.6 g of 4-(benzyloxy)-3-methoxy-4'-(trifluoromethyl)benzhydrol (dissolved in 500 ml of methylene chloride) are treated within 10 minutes at 20° with 30.6 g of pyridinium chlorochromate and stirred at 20° for 2 hours. The precipitate formed is subsequently filtered and washed with methylene chloride. The filtrate is evaporated and the residue is chromatographed on 150 g of silica gel with methylene chloride. After recrystallization from methylene chloride/hexane, there is obtained 4-benzyloxy)-3-methoxy-4'-(trifluoromethyl)benzophenone of melting point 101°.
