Reaktionsschritte

70 Parts of 4-fluorobenzeneacetonitrile were heated at 120° C. and there were added dropwise 83 parts of bromine and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. The resulting reaction mixture was added dropwise to a stirred mixture (room temperature) of 85 parts of aluminium chloride and 200 parts of fluorobenzene (exothermic reaction: temperature rises to 50° C.). After stirring for 30 minutes at 50° C., the reaction mixture was poured onto a mixture of crushed ice and 75 parts of hydrochloric acid solution. The product was extracted with methylbenzene. The extract was dried and evaporated. The residue was crystallized twice from 2-propanol, yielding 51 parts of 4-fluoro-α-(4-fluorophenyl)benzeneacetonitrile, mp. 63.5° C. (intermediate 13).
