Procedure

To a solution of 2′-fluoropropiophenone (25.0 g) in acetic acid (250 mL) was slowly added bromine (8.4 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Water (200 mL) was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with diisopropyl ether. The extract was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a yellow oil (yield 36.8 g, 97%).
