4.1.3. Bis-(4-benzoylphenyl) ether (4). To a solution of 3
(0.50 g, 1.2 mmol) in acetone (15 mL) was added p-toluene-
sulfonic acid (0.33 g, 1.2 mmol). The mixture was heated at
50 ꢁC for 3 h and then placed in water (30 mL). The mixture
was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3ꢂ30 mL). The com-
bined extracts were then dried over magnesium sulfate,
filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Recrystallisation from

dendron (9). To the methoxy terminated poly(ether ketone)
dendron 8 (0.27 g, 0.35 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) was added
p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.2 g). The mixture was heated at
50 ꢁC for 3 h and then placed in water (30 mL). The mixture
was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3ꢂ30 mL). The com-
bined extracts were then dried over magnesium sulfate, fil-
tered and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography

phenone10c 6 (1.10 g, 4.7 mmol) in dry ether (15 mL), at
0 ꢁC under nitrogen, was added 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-
ethane (1.40 mL, 6.1 mmol). The mixture was left for
30 min under nitrogen and then trimethylsilyl trifluoro-
methanesulfonate (0.06 mL, 0.3 mmol) and trifluoroacetic
acid (two drops) were added. After 30 min, the temperature
was raised to room temperature for 5 h. Pyridine (0.1 mL) was
added to the mixture and, after 30 min, water (40 mL) was
added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3ꢂ
30 mL). The combined extracts were then dried over magne-
sium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Column
chromatography on silica gel using 60:40 hexane/ethyl ace-
tate yielded a waxy solid. The waxy solid was stirred in
DCM where upon a precipitate was formed. The precipitate
was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to
yield 0.93 g (70%) of a waxy solid, 7; Rf (hexane/ethyl ace-

and diol 7 (0.038 g, 0.14 mmol) were dissolved in dry
DMSO (7 mL) and Na2CO3 (0.12 g) was added. The mixture
was heated to 160 ꢁC for 24 h and then cooled to room tem-
perature. Column chromatography on silica gel using 55:45
