Interaction of benzoyl peroxide with 4-hydroxybiphenyl (I) and 4-hydroxybenzophenone (IV) leads to ortho-benzoyloxylation, giving 3-benzoyloxylated derivatives.A similar reaction with 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzophenone (VII) results in dimerisation involving the side methyl group.The phenyl and benzoyl groups, thus do not inhibit benzoyloxylation.The formation of the dimer (VIII) from the ketone (VII) shows that it is difficult to achieve ortho-benzoyloxylation with chelated hydroxyl group.
