Abstract
4-Methoxybenzophenone was synthesized from Fridel-crafts acylation of anisole and benzoyl chloride using iodine as catalyst.The effects of reactant ratio,amount of catalyst used,reaction temperature and time were investigated.The suitable reaction conditions were optimized as: anisole was 0.1 mol,anisole / benzoyl chloride mole ratio was 1.0∶1.5,catalyst usage was 1.5 g,reaction temperature was 140 ℃,reaction time was 4 h.The highest yield of 61.68 % is obtained.
