A solution of 3-phenylthiophene (3.10 g, 19.3 mmol) and acetyl chloride (1.38 mL, 23.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Aluminium (III) chloride (2.58 g, 19.3 mmol) was added in several portions to control an otherwise vigorous exotherm. After addition was complete, the bath was removed and the reaction allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and the layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with another portion of NaHCO3 solution and brine. The resulting dichloromethane solution was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with a gradient of 1-5% EtOAc/hexanes to afford 1.62 g (41% yield) of 1-(3-phenylthiophen-2-yl)ethanone and 1.13 g (29% yield) of 1-(4-phenylthiophen-2-yl)ethanone which were both spectroscpopically identical to literature compounds (See reference: Acta Chemica Scandinavica (1947-1973) 1970, 24, pp. 99-104.)
