The mixture was filtered through Celite and the ethanol evaporated. Water (200 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (20 ml) were added and the reaction washed with ethyl acetate and then basified to pH8 with sodium bicarbonate and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic extract was dried and evaporated to give 4-amino-2-chloro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide as a grey crystalline solid (5.21 g) which was recrystallised from chloroform/ethyl acetate to give off-white crystals (3.46 g, m.p. 170° 173° C.).
