Water was added, and the solution was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with 10% citric acid, then saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 1:4 ethyl acetate:hexanes to give 648.7 mg (85%) of ethyl[(2-acetyl-4-bromophenyl)amino](oxo)acetate as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 12.61 (s, 1H), 8.47 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 8.26 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (dd, J=9, 2 Hz, 1H), 4.31 (q, J=7 Hz, 2H), 2.69 (s, 3H), 1.32 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H). ESI-LCMS m/z 314 (M+H)+.
