Scheme 2 via reaction with the hydroxyl group to form the phenylphosphorodichloridate (4) which showed the expected carbonyl and P= O IR absorptions. The phenylphosphorodichloridate (4) was then treated with phosphorus pentachloride to form the expected product 3 which was initially formed by reaction of 5-chloro-2- hydroxybenzophenone and phosphorus pentachloride as evidenced by a mixture mp and ...
