Abstract: 4-Methoxybenzophenone was synthesized from Fridel-crafts acylation of anisole and benzoyl chloride using iodine as catalyst. The effects of reactant ratio，amount of catalyst used，reaction temperature and time were investigated. The suitable reaction conditions were optimized as： anisole was 0.1 mol，anisole / benzoyl chloride mole ratio was 1.0∶1.5, catalyst usage was 1.5 g, reaction temperature was 140 ℃, reaction time was 4 h. The highest yield of 61.68 % is obtained.
