Reaction Steps

To a solution of 24.8 g. (0.127 mol.) of m-trifluoromethylacetophenone in 20 ml. of anhydrous ether was added with cooling and stirring 0.15 g. of anhydrous aluminum chloride and 20.2 g. (0.127 mol.) of bromine. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was distilled to give α-bromo-m-trifluoromethylacetophenone, b.p. 135°-140° (20mm.).
