Procedure

The title compound was prepared by modification of procedures previously reported in the literature (Felder et al (1965) Helv. Chim. Acta, 48: 259). To a solution of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (15.7 g, 100 mmol) in 150 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added N-hydroxymethyl dichloroacetamide (23.7 g, 150 mmol) in portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days, poured onto 375 g of ice, stirred for 1 hour, the solid was collected by filtration, and washed with H2O. The moist solid was dissolved in 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, filtered, and acidified to pH 1 with concentrated HCl. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with H2O, and air-dryed overnight to give 4-chloro-3-dichloroacetylaminomethylbenzoic acid (26.2 g, 89%) as a white powder.
