3-(4-Fluorophenyl)butyryl chloride → 6-Fluoro-3-propyl-1-indanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared in an analogous manner to Example 18e with the replace of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)butyryl chloride with 3-(4-fluorophenyl) hexanoyl chloride (49.95 g, 0.218 mol). The dichloromethane extractions were combined, washed with deionized water (250 ml) and concentrated by spin evaporation in vacuo. The residue was coevaporated with dichloromethane (100 ml) to give 41.26 g (98%) of 6-fluoro-3-propyl-1-indanone as a golden yellow syrup:
