To a slurry of 120.2 g. (0.90 mole) of anhydrous aluminum chloride in 54 ml. of carbon disulfide is added 122.6 g. (0.50 mole) of 2-bromo-4'-fluoro-2-methylpropiophenone at 15°-20°C over one hour. The mixture is warmed to 50°C over one hour, stirred at 50°C for three hours and quenched in ice. The product is extracted into toluene. The toluene layer is washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide and water and concentrated in vacuo to give 5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-indanone.
