Participants

Reaction Steps

370 mg of benzoylchloride were reacted with 12 ml anisole to give the benzoylated product 4-methoxybenzophenone in 47% yield. The catalyst used is a HS—AlF3 metal fluoride on a Al2O3 support prepared according to the present invention, which is used in an amount of 300 mg. The reaction is carried out in a discontinuous batch process at 60° C. under reflux with stirring.
