Reaction Steps

A suspension of N-(4-bromo-3-chloro-2-methylphenyl)acetamide (45 g, 0.17 mol) and copper cyanide (34 g, 0.34 mol) in DMF (450 mL) was heated to 150° C. for 24 h. The suspension was cooled, poured into water with stirring. The solid was filtered and dried to give 25 g (70%) of the title compound which was used for the next step without further purification.
