2-bromo-3-methylacetophenone

General procedure: A mixture of haloalkyne (0.5 mmol), AgF (5molpercent) and water (1 equiv.) in TFA (1 mL) was stirred at 40°C for 6h, after which TFA was distilled out for reuse. The residue was separated by column chromatography to give the pure sample.General procedure: A mixture of haloalkyne (0.2 mmol), tetrafluoroboric acid (20 molpercent, 40percent  aqueous solution ) in 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanol (1 mL) was stirred at 80°C for 2 or 10 h. After the reaction was finished, water (5 mL) was added and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×5 mL), the combined extract was dried with anhydrous MgSOGeneral procedure: The reaction mixture of In(OTf)General procedure: Oxone (1.352 g, 2.2 mmol) was added to the well stirred solution of substrate (2 mmol) and NHTo a solution of 1-m-tolyl-ethanone (6.Og, 44.72mmol) in dioxane (5ml), bromine (7.14g, 44.72mmol) in dioxane (10ml) and ether (15ml) was added and stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water and the compound was extracted using ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and then evaporated to give crude 2- bromo- 1-m-tolyl-ethanone, 7.6g (80percent). The crude compound obtained was used in the next step without further purification.General procedure: To a solution of olefin (1mmol) in acetone (3mL) and water (0.1mL), TsNBrGeneral procedure: The α-bromination reaction was carried out using acetophenone (1200 mg, 10 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (2136 mg, 12 mmol), 10percent (w/w) silica gel (120mg) in 10 mL of methanol at reflux conditions until the disappearance of the substrate. (Note: 2136mg of N-bromosuccinimide was added portion wise i.e. 356 mg for each time in six portions). The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mass was filtered after the completion of the reaction as per TLC and the catalyst was collected for reuse. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. Double distilled water was added to the reaction mixture and quenched with aqueous sodium thiosulfate and the product extracted with dichloromethane (Caution: Severe burning sensation of eyes was observed during the work-up process). The layers were separated and the organic layer was collected and washed thrice with distilled water (3×50mL). The collected organic layer was dried over anhydrous NaGeneral procedure: To a stirred solution of alkyne (1 mmol) in ethyl acetate(1 mL), 0.1 mL of acetone:water (1:1) and TsNBr2 (2 mmol) wasadded. After 10 min Na2SO3 (8 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature till completion asmonitored by TLC. The organic layer was extracted with ethylacetate, washed with water, dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated.The crude product was purified by flash chromatographyon silica gel (230-400 mesh) using petroleum ethereethyl acetateas eluent.
