Reaction Steps

2.5 g of 2-bromo-5-chloroindan-1-one and 2.8 g of sodium thiophenoxide was suspended in 30 ml of ethanol and heated under reflux for 3 h. The cooled reaction mixture was concentrated and purified chromatographically on silica gel using toluene/ethyl acetate 10/1. This gave 5-chloro-2-phenylsulfanylindan-1-one of melting point 89° C.
