Question

Provide a suitable synthesis for the reaction.

The image depicts a chemical reaction represented by structural formulas:

1. **Reactant**:
   - The structure on the left shows an aromatic ring with a methyl ketone group. The benzene ring (hexagonal with alternating double bonds) is bonded to a carbonyl group (C=O), which connects to a methyl group (—CH3).

2. **Arrow**:
   - An arrow points from the reactant to the product, indicating the direction of the chemical reaction.

3. **Product**:
   - The structure on the right includes the same aromatic benzene ring. However, it has undergone a transformation, resulting in the formation of a new six-membered, non-aromatic ring fused to the benzene. This additional ring contains a ketone group (C=O) and a chlorine atom (Cl) attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl carbon.

The reaction demonstrates a chemical transformation involving the addition of a carbonyl and halogen to the initial methyl group, resulting in a more complex bicyclic structure.
