Procedure

A solution of 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid (2.00 g, 8.5 mmol), N-hydroxysuccinimide (1.07 g, 9.3 mmol) and EDCI (1.79 g, 9.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/N,N-dimethylformamide (3:1; 40 Ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction was concentrated and water (50 Ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 Ml) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and dried in vacuo to give 1-[(4-bromo-2-chlorobenzoyl)oxy]-2,5-pyrrolidinedione (2.59 g, 92%) as an off-white solid which was used directly in the next step without further purification.
