A slurry of 35.6 g (0.1 mole) of 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)benzeneacetic acid, sodium salt in 500 ml of dimethylformamide was treated with 32.0 g (0.2 mole) of ethyl iodide and stirred at ambient temperature for 24 hr. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was poured into 3.5 liters of water. The solid which precipitated was collected by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from absolute ethanol to yield 26.8 g (74%) of the titled compound as tiny gold needles, m.p. 107°-109° C.
