4,5-DICHLORO-2,3-DIHYDRO-1H-INDEN-1-ONE

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The 4,5-dichloro-1-indanone is prepared as in Example 15 for the preparation of 6,7-dichloro-1-indanone but star6ing with 26 g of 3-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)propionic acid, 138 ml of thionyl chloride, 550 ml of anhydrous dichloromethane and 20.5 g of aluminium chloride. After recrystallization from 100 ml of boiling ethanol, 12.67 g of 4,5-dichloro-1-indanone are thus obtained which melt at 78° C. After recrystallization from 100 ml of boiling ethanol, 12.67 g of 4,5-dichloro-1-indanone are thus obtained which melt at 78° C.

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The 2-bromo-4,5-dichloro-1-indanone can be prepared as in Example 14 for the preparation of 2-bromo-4-fluoro-1-indanone but starting with 12.67 g of 4,5-dichloro-1-indanone, 37.3 g of copper bromide and 400 ml of dioxane. 16.79 g of 2-bromo-6,7-dichloro-1-indanone are thus obtained which melt at 131° C.
