Reaction Steps

2,2'-Dihydroxy-5,5'-dichlorobenzophenone (12.1 g, 0.042 mol, prepared similarly as described in Journal of the American Chemical Society 77, 543 (1955)) and diiodomethane (11.9 g, 0.044 mol) were dissolved in dry N,N-dimethylformamnide (226 ml). Dried and powdered potassium carbonate (8.3 g) was added and the mixture was heated at 105° C. for 5 h and left overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured on ice (220 g). The precipitate was collected by filtration after 0.5 h and dissolved in diethyl ether (500 ml). The organic layer was washed with 5% sodium hydroxide (50 ml), dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo, affording 12 g (96%) of 2,10-dichloro-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3]-dioxocin-12-one as a solid.
