Reaction Steps

Chloroacetyl chloride (79g) in acetone (100 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-amino-2-(benzamido)ethane (170g) in acetone (500 ml) containing triethylamine (64.2g). The mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water (750 ml). The solid was collected, washed with water and dried (195g). Recrystallisation from nitromethane (or dioxane) gave pure 1,1,1-trichloro-2-benzamido-2-(chloroacetamido)ethane (156g, m.p. 210°-213°)
