Procedure

To a solution of 2,4-dichloroaniline (42.0 g, 260 mmol) in AcOH (40.0 mL) is added Ac2O (80 mL). The reaction mixture is warmed up to 50° C. and stirred at this temperature for 1 hour. The reaction is cooled to room temperature and poured into ice water (500 mL). A solid precipitated and the mixture is stirred for additional 1 hour at room temperature. The solid is filtered and washed with water, hexanes and air dried to give N-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)acetamide.
