Reaction Steps

74 g (0.5 mole) of phthalic anhydride were reacted with 128 g (1.05 moles) of AlCl3 and 25 g (0.2 mole) of diethylzinc in 74 g of tert-amylbenzene, similarly to Example 1. After the mixture had been worked up, 118 g (80% of theory) of pure 2-(4'-tert-amylbenzoyl)-benzoic acid were obtained.
