4-Acetoxybenzophenone → 1,2-Bis(p-acetoxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.04 g of acetic acid was added to 35.98 g of isopropyl alcohol, and 4.02 g of 4-acetoxybenzophenone was dissolved therein. To this solution, ultraviolet rays were irradiated by a high pressure mercury lamp (UVL-100HA, manufactured by Riko Kagaku Sangyo K.K.) to carry out the reaction for 6 hours. After the reaction, the solvent was distilled off to obtain 4.00 g of 1,2-bis(p-acetoxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol (compound (C5)).
