Abstract
Benzophenone thioethers of the general formula I or Ia ##STR1## in which X is hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or --COO-alkyl and X.sub.1 is hydrogen, Cl, Br or --SR, R is an unbranched or branched alkyl radical having 1-20 C atoms, which is unsubstituted or substituted by --OH, --OR.sup.1, --O--C(O)--R.sup.2, --COOR.sup.3, --C(O)-phenyl. --CN, --SR.sup.1, --NH.sub.2, --NHR.sup.4, --NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 or phenyl, in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, R.sub.a is an alkylene radical having 2-10 C atoms, which is unsubstituted or substituted by --OH. --OR.sup.1 or --O--C(O)--R.sup.2 and/or is interrupted by --O--, --NR.sup.4, --O--C(O)--R.sup.6 --C(O)--O--, --C(O)--O--R.sup.7 --O--C(O)-- or phenylene and R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are divalent hydrocarbon radicals, can be prepared by reacting a mono- or di-halogenobenzophenone of the general formula II ##STR2## in which X.sub.2 is Cl or Br and X.sub.3 is H, Cl or Br, in a polar solvent with a mercapto compound of the formula RSH or R.sub.a (SH).sub.2 in the presence of a base in an amount equivalent to the amount of halogen to be reacted.
