Thionyl Chloride → 1-Indanone, 6-bromo-

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a 250 mL of flask was added 3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-propionic acid 38a (20.6 g, 90 mmol, ABCR) and dried in vacuo for 20 minutes followed by addition of 110 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane under nitrogen atmosphere, and then thionyl chloride (20 mL, 276 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux overnight. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most solvent followed by addition of 100 mL of dichloromethane, and then aluminium trichloride (24.5 g, 25.8 mmol) was added. The generated gas was released. The mixture was warmed up to reflux and stirred overnight. The mixture was poured into 200 g of ice to form a copious amount of precipitates and filtered through silica gel. The filtrate was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 30 mL of dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound 6-bromo-indan-1-one 38b (18.34 g, yield 96.6%) as a yellow solid.
