Heading C2C. 1,2-Diaryl ketones of formula in which Ar and Ar<SP>1</SP> are unsubstituted or substituted phenyl groups are prepared by oxidizing a 1,2-diaryl ethan of formula with nitric acid in the presence of a substantially inert organic solvent which is substantially immiscible with the nitric acid.
