Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4-chlorobenzamide (58 g, 0.34 mol) in hot (60° C.) N-methylpyrrolidone (170 mL), triethylorthoformate (151 g, 1.02 mol, 3 equiv) and a 1,4-dioxane 5N HCl solution (ca. 15 mL) were added. The resulting solution was heated at 110° C. for 18 h. Then, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, was poured over cold water and was brought to pH 7 with saturated NaHCO3 solution. The formed precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried to give the desired product as a slightly beige solid (58 g, 94%).
