2,3-Dichloro-4-(2-phenylacryloyl)anisole (8.2 g., 26.8 mmol) in 215 ml. of methylene chloride is added dropwise over a 4.5 hr. period to a stirred solution of 107 ml. of sulfuric acid in 107 ml. of methylene chloride at 0°-5° under an atmosphere of argon. Following addition, the reaction mixture is stirred for 0.5 hr., poured over about 300 g. of crushed ice and the aqueous-organic phases separated. The aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride and the combine methylene chloride solutions sequentially washed with water and then dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent affords 8.52 g. of solid which crystallized from benzene-cyclohexane provides 4.59 g. (56% yield) of 2-phenyl-5-methoxy-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone, m.p. 193.5°-196.5°.
