To a 2 liter 4 necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer thermometer, and reflux condensor was added 155 g (1.0 mole) of phenyl acetyl chloride and 500 ml (4.9 mole) of chlorobenzene. A total of 145 g (1.08 mole) of anhydrous aluminum chloride was added portionwise over 10 minutes. The mixture self warmed to 55° C. and evolved HCl gas over the course of the next 30 minutes. The mixture was stirred at about 50° C. for an additional 30 minutes and then poured onto about 500 g of ice and 110 ml of concentrated aqueous HCl. The organic layer (lower) was separated and the aqueous layer was washed with ethyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with water, dilute aqueous NaOH, and water and then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting crude solid was recrystallized from 2200 ml of hexane yielding 132 g of 4-chlorophenyl benzyl ketone, mp 85°-90° C.
