Steps:

3.1.a

a. Preparation of 4-methyl-3'-methoxybenzophenone To a suspension of AlCl₃ (1.1 equivalents) in CH₂Cl₂ (40 ml) a solution of m-anisoylchloride (12.0 g) and toluene (1 equivalent) in CH₂Cl₂ (10 ml) is dropwise added. The resulting mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, then poured into 200 ml of a mixture ice-37% by weight HCl (1/1 v/v). The organic phase and the aqueous phase are separated. The organic phase is dehydrated with sodium sulphate. Filtration is then effected and the organic solvent evaporated. 4-methyl-3'-methoxybenzophenone is obtained. Yield: quantitative.
