Procedure

To a suspension of 3.27 g (15 mmol) of 1,2-di-propionylaminobenzene, 4.32 ml (37.5 mmol) of 4-bromo-1-chlorobutane, and 0.96 g (3.0 mmol) of tetrabutylammonium bromide in 25 ml of toluene, 5.6 ml of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The organic layer was separated, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and dried. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate =2 :1 to 1:1 to 1:2 to 1:4) to give 0.76 g of the desired product (12.6% yield, white crystals).
