Procedure

To a cold (10° C.) mixture of 44.0 g (0.212 mol) of 2-bromonaphthalene and 34.0 g (0.255 mol) of aluminum chloride in 400 ml of nitrobenzene was added 21.0 g (267 mmol) of acetyl chloride. The mechanically stirred reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, and heated to 40° C. for 18 hours. After cooling to 0° C. in an ice bath, the reaction was quenched by the addition of 12M HCl (70 ml). The layers were separated and the organic phase was washed with water and dilute aqueous Na2CO3. Kugelrohr distillation, followed by recrystallization from 10% EtOAc-hexane yielded 23 g of the title compound as a tan solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.44 (1H, br s), 8.04-8.10 (2H, m), 7.85 (1H, d, J=8.5 Hz), 7.82 (1H, d, J=8.8 Hz), 7.64 (1H, d, J=8.8 Hz), 2.73 (3H, s).
