Diphenyldichloromethane is an organic compound with the formula (C6H5)2CCl2. It is a colorless solid that is used as a precursor to other organic compounds.
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]
