Ketones are prepared by reacting carboxylic acid halides, in particular carboxylic acid chlorides, with aluminum-alkyl compounds, optionally in the presence of an aluminum trihalide, in methylene chloride as the solvent, at a temperature between about 20 DEG and about 100 DEG C., preferably between about 30 DEG and about 60 DEG C., more preferably of about 40 DEG C. which is the reflux temperature of the methylene chloride. When operating at a temperature above approximately 40 DEG C., pressure higher than atmospheric is applied. The reaction mixture is worked up in usual manner, suitably by decomposition with water followed by distillation.
