Procedure

To a solution of bromoacetyl bromide (72.3 mL, 830 mmol) in toluene (500 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added a solution of dibutylamine (280.0 mL, 1.66 mol) in toluene (220 mL) via an addition funnel maintaining the reaction temperature below 10° C. Upon completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes. A solution of 2.5% aqueous H3PO4 (500 mL) was slowly introduced, and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature with vigorous stirring. The solution is 2.5% phosphoric acid by weight. The layers were separated and the organic phase washed with water (500 mL) and concentrated to provide the bromoacetamide as a solution in toluene.
