Abstract
Selective formation of 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone (> 88%) at 19.8 wt% conver sion level of 4-chlorobenzoylchloride (4-CIBC) and at 8.4 x 10(-4) s(-1) mo l(Al)(-1) turnover frequency (TOF) of 4-chlorobenzoylchloride is reported f or the first time in the benzoylation of chlorobenzene using 4-CIBC as benz oylating agent and zeolite H-beta as the catalyst.
