Procedure

A sample of 2-hydroxy-5-nonyl benzophenone (25 g, 0.077 mol) was dissolved in 100 mL methylene chloride. To this solution was added a solution of 20 g (0.5 mol) sodium hydroxide in 100 mL deionized water, followed by the addition of 22 g (0.154 mol) iodomethane and 2.5 g (0.006 mol) tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. The entire mixture was agitated with vigorous mechanical stirring for 1.5 hours at 40° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, and the layers separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with 50 mL methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residual oil was, taken up in petroleum ether, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and again concentrated under vacuum to provide 22 g (85% yield) of 2-methoxy-5-nonyl benzophenone.
