In the preparation of benzyl ketones of the formula ##STR1## a benzyl chloride of the formula ##STR2## is reacted with an acid chloride of the formula R.sup.6 --CO--Cl (III) a) in a first stage with an excess of zinc powder in the presence of a diluent at a temperature between 80.degree. C. and 200.degree. C. under an inert gas atmosphere, and separating off the excess zinc powder, thereby to obtain a benzyl derivative of the formula ##STR3## and b) in a second stage reacting the benzyl derivative of the formual (IV) with an acid chloride of the formula (III) in the presence of a palladium catalyst and in the presence of a diluent at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 150.degree. C. under an inert gas atmosphere.
在制备
化学式为##STR1##的苄基酮时,将
