Participants

Reaction Steps

7.2 g of aluminium chloride are added to 80 ml of nitrobenzene at 5° C. and a solution of 8 g of 4-bromo-2-chloro-benzoyl chloride in 20 ml of nitrobenzene is added dropwise in such a manner that the temperature does not exceed 10° C. After stirring and adding 3.26 ml of anisole the reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature, stirred and subsequently poured on to ice-water and extracted with methylene chloride. The extracts are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried and evaporated. There are obtained 10.0 g of (4-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-methanone, MS: m/e 324 (M+H+, 1 Br).
