Reaction Steps

2-Anilinoethanol (137 g, 1.0 mol) was mixed with acetonitrile (300 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (100 ml), and the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in acetonitrile (1000 ml); acetyl chloride (89 ml, 1.25 mol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature (22° C.) for 16 hours. The mixture was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and the resulting solid was triturated with ethyl ether (1000 ml). The solid was removed by filtration and dried to yield 197 g (91.3%) of product.
