Reaction Steps

Bromination of 5-chloro-1-indanone in glacial acetic acid with bromine and with addition of catalytic amounts of 48% strength HBr solution in water affords 2-bromo-5-chloro-1-indanone with a melting point of 94-96° C. A little of the corresponding dibromo compound is obtained as byproduct.
