Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 4-Chloro-2-trifluoroacetylaniline, hydrochloride hydrate (40.0 kg, 144 mol) in toluene (140 kg) and water (50 L) was added 30% NaOH (18 kg) to pH 7.0. After removing the aqueous phase, 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (20 kg, 144 mol) and TsOH (1.0 kg, 5.3 mol) were added. The solution was heated to reflux and the water/toluene azeotrope (30 L) distilled. The solution was cooled to room temperature and washed with saturated brine (80 kg).
