Reaction Steps

Into a 250 mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 1-(2-aminophenyl)ethanone (11 g, 81.48 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in 1N HCl (300 mL). This was followed by the addition of a solution of ICl (14.5 g, 89.51 mmol, 1.10 equiv) in 2N HCl (50 mL) dropwise with stirring at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature in a water/ice bath. The solid were collected by filtration and then washed with 200 mL of ethyl acetate: MeOH (10:1). The title compound was obtained as a brown solid.
