Crotonaldehyde (17.5 mL, 0.21 mol) was added dropwise to a refluxing solution of 2-chloro-5-methoxyaniline hydrochloride (10.36 g. 53.4 mmol) in 5 N hydrochloric acid (450 mL) and reflux continued for a further 0.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with water (500 mL), then extracted with ether (400 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and basified using 50% aqueous NaOH (pH 14), and then extracted into dichloromethane (3×300 mL). The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo to give a dark oil which was purified by chromatography on silica gel (˜200 g) eluting with 20% EtOAc in hexane to give a brown oil (5.17 g) which was heated at reflux in a mixture of acetic acid (30 mL) and 48% hydrobromic acid (30 mL) for 66 h. Reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue suspended in sat. NaHCO3 (aq), then extracted into dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo to give a brown solid (2.90 g, 28%).
