Reaction Steps

A solution of 40.9 g (0.1 mole) of 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)-5-chlorobenzeneacetic acid, sodium salt, monohydrate in 400 ml of dimethylformamide was treated with 32.0 g (0.2 mole) of ethyl iodide and the solution was let stand at ambient temperature overnight. The solution was poured in 3.5 liters of cold water and a solid gradually crystallized. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and recrystallized from absolute ethanol to yield 36.2 g (91%) of title compound, a yellow solid, m.p. 92°-94° C.
