Synthesis and characterization of sulphated AIMCM-41 and its catalytic activity in dibenzoylation of biphenyl with benzoyl chloride

Benzoylation of biphenyl with benzoyl chloride is an important acylation reaction, producing monosubstituted product, 4-phenyl benzophenone (4-PBP) and disubstituted product, 4, 4’- dibenzoylbiphenyl (4, 4’-DBBP). 4, 4’-DBBP is a monomer used as a component in emitting layer in polymer light e...
