The aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was cooled to the temperature of 0° C., and acetyl chloride (7.8 g, 0.1 mol) was added dropwise. A reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1 hour. 100 ml water was then added, and the reaction solution was extracted with dichloromethane (50 ml*3). The organic phases were combined, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered to remove the drying agent. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, to give a solid. The solid was recrystallized in a 2:1 toluene/n-hexane mixture, to produce 4.8 g of agomelatine. The yield was 78.5%. The melting point was 107-108° C. (in Literature [2], 109° C.).
