Reaction Steps

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