A novel synthesis of bisbenzyl ketones by DCC induced condensation of phenylacetlc acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00032719808006472

1,3-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) has been found to effect condensation of two molecules of phenylacetic acids in the presence of dimethylaminopyridine leading to the formation of bisbenzyl ketones.
