2,4-Dimethylbenzophenone

CAS: 1140-14-3

2,4-Dimethylbenzophenone is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a carbonyl group. It is an intermediate in the benzoylation of benzoates. The reaction mechanism for this process involves the addition of hydrogen chloride and aluminium to the solution of 2,4-dimethylbenzophenone in nonpolar solvents at low temperatures. This reaction has been shown to be reversible, with no evidence of product inhibition or induction. The transients are thought to be due to the formation of carbocation intermediates from the chlorine and aluminium.
