Benzene can be converted to benzophenone through a one-step reaction called Friedel-Crafts acylation:

  • Reaction: Benzene reacts with benzoyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride as a catalyst
  • Equation: C6H6 + C6H5COCl + AlCl3 → C6H5COC6H5 + HCl
  • Products: Benzophenone and hydrochloric acid (HCl) are the products of the reaction

Benzene reacts with benzoyl chloride in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl_{3}) to give benzophenone and also HCl as a by-product.
