After stirring 24 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was combined with water and extracted with DCM. The combined extracts were dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (Hex/EtOAc=10:1) to give 3-(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-3-methylbutan-2-one (13 g, 73%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.47-7.45 (m, 1H), 7.17-7.14 (m, 1H), 7.09 (t, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 1.98 (s, 3H), 1.45 (s, 6H).
