Reaktionsschritte

4-Bromophenyl propionate (115 g) (see Preparation 1) and aluminium chloride (150 g) were heated together at approximately 90° C. for 15 minutes. The solution became dark and hydrogen chloride gas was evolved. After cooling the black mass was carefully added to ice and a brown solid formed. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic extract was separated, washed with brine, dried (anhydrous magnesium sulphate) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to yield 1-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (110 g) as a yellow solid.
