Synthesis
It is prepared from carbon tetrachloride and anhydrous aluminium chloride as catalyst in a double Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene.[3] Alternatively, benzophenone is treated with phosphorus pentachloride:[4]
- (C6H5)2CO + PCl5 → (C6H5)2CCl2 + POCl3
Reactions
It undergoes hydrolysis to benzophenone.[3]
- (C6H5)2CCl2 + H2O → (C6H5)2CO + 2 HCl
It is used in the synthesis of tetraphenylethylene,[5] diphenylmethane imine hydrochloride and benzoic anhydride.[6]
gollark: I think the school also has some sort of PCB production equipment extant.
gollark: Actually, the time per unit time increases asymptotically as you approach 1970.
gollark: Yes. Barely.
gollark: Imagine CRT monitors.
gollark: But they do talk about this cohort being better than the previous one somehow.
