Procedure

A solution of 3-chloro-4-methoxyphenylamine (6.3 g) and triethylamine (4.04 g) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was chilled in an ice bath, acetyl chloride (3.45 g) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was extracted with water (2×30 mL) and brine (2×30 mL) and the organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to give N-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (7.45 g) as a dark oil, which solidified on standing. MS: 200 (M+H)+.
