Reaction Steps

Example 3 was repeated, replacing catalyst (IV) to 0.69 g (0.25 mmol), of catalyst (V), replacing 2-octanol with 9.20 g (50 mmol) of benzhydrol, and reducing the reaction time to 1 hour. 9.04 g (49.7 mmol) of benzophenone were thus obtained (GCL purity>99%), which corresponds to a 99% yield.
