Is this reaction a hazardous process?

As the title suggests: Please provide as many thorough reasons as possible!
Room temperature, aluminum trichloride as a catalyst? It can’t be considered a hazardous process.
Looking at just this step, it is not considered a hazardous process. But do you still need to proceed with the next reaction, where high temperatures are used to form indenone? If indenone is produced in this way, it constitutes a dangerous manufacturing process. If it’s not done moving backward, then it’s not it.
Must like it! This step is a typical Fuck reaction; the next step involves indenone synthesis. Please advise which specific step thereafter constitutes a hazardous process? :handshake
The subsequent step falls under the category of alkylation reactions. . . . It falls under the eighteen high-risk processes.
Isn’t it acylification, cyclization, and hydrolysis? I don’t quite understand; could you please explain?
I have always believed that the Fuchs reaction is not a hazardous process, but **since there are standard Fuchs reactions that are hazardous processes, then this first step is also a hazardous process. Moving forward, solvent-free reactions will be used; self-alkylation takes place with molten aluminum chloride, and heat is applied using heat transfer oil. After the reaction is complete, it must be placed in water for hydrolysis. I’ve always been hesitant to use the melting process. Obviously, the level of danger in the second step is greater than that in the first step.
