Procedure

13.3 g of 3,4-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2H-1,5-benzodithiepine were dissolved in 110 ml of ethylene chloride under argon and treated portionwise at -10° C. in succession with 10.1 ml of acetyl chloride and 19 g of aluminum chloride. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 21/2 hours, poured on to ice and extracted with ether. The extract was washed with dilute sodium hydroxide solution and water, dried and evaporated to dryness. There were obtained 15.6 g of 3,4-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2H-1,5-benzodithiepin-7-yl methyl ketone in the form of brownish crystals.
