Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,4-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (4 mmol), acetoanilide (540 mg, 4 mmol), and AlCl3 (1.6 g) in CH2Cl2 was heated at 40° C. for 24 h. The slurry was washed with HCl (aq) and the product was extracted with ether. It was washed with K2CO3 (aq), dried, and evaporated. Purification by column-chromatography on silica-gel (hexane:AcOEt=1:3) provided 87 mg of the title compound; MS m/e 328 (M−1).
