By adding ethanol (100 ml) to the reaction solution, excess acetic anhydride was esterified. After cooling, ethyl acetate was added to the reaction solution and the mixture was washed with water and brine and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was crystallized from diethyl ether to give N-(3-chloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxo-2-naphthalenyl)-N-(2-methoxyethyl)acetamide (29 g) as a yellow powder.
