The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and washed with 1.0 N HCl solution (10 mL), brine solution (20 mL) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Filtration of the drying agent and concentration of the solvent under vacuum gave [4-(4-acetylamino-phenyl)-6-chloro-3-methyl-naphthalen-2-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester (120 mg, 93.1%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 10.13 (s, 1 H), 7.94 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.86 (s, 1 H), 7.76 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2 H), 7.46 (dd, J=8.8, 1.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.11-7.19 (m, 3 H), 3.95 (s, 2 H), 3.65 (s, 3 H), 2.10 (s, 3 H), 2.07 (s, 3 H).
