Reaction Steps

Bromine (0.57 ml) was added dropwise during 15 minutes to a stirred solution of 5-carboxy-2-methylindan-1-one (2 g) in acetic acid (75 ml) at 35° C. The solution was stirred for a further 30 minutes then evaporated to low volume under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with water to give 2-bromo-5-carboxy-2-methylindan-1-one, m.p. 203°-205° C. (from acetic acid).
