HCID 4162140N-(3-bromo-2-methylphenyl)acetamideYield 89%

Procedure

A solution of 3-bromo-2-methyl-phenylamine (4.1 g, 21.9 mmol) was treated with DIEA (8.4 mL, 48 mmol) and chilled to zero degrees. Acetyl chloride (1.7 mL, 24.1 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe. Reaction was allowed to return to room temperature and stir for 1 hour. Reaction was then poured onto water and washed once. Organic phase was evaporated to off-white solids. Trituration with hexanes afforded title compound as white solids (4.4 g, 89%).
