Procedure

A mixture of 4-chloro-2-fluoroaniline (19.0 g, 130.6 mmol), and 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (19.85 g, 130.6 mmol) in acetic acid (150 mL) is refluxed for 2 hours, treated with additional 4-chloro-2-fluoroaniline (3.0 g), refluxed for 90 minutes, stirred at room temperature overnight and poured into a water/ethyl acetate mixture. The organic phase is washed sequentially with water, saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a purple oil. Flash column chromatography of the oil using silica gel and 15% to 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes solutions gives the title product as an off-white solid (25.3 g, mp 81°-82° C.).
