Procedure

Add 191 g of 2-chloro-2',4'-difluoroacetophenone (Aldrich Chemical Co.) to a mixture of 246 g of sodium acetate, 3 g of NaI, and 3L of DMF. Stir the mixture at 20° C. for 18 hr. then concentrate it to 1L. Pour the residue into 6L of cold dilute aqueous HCl and extract with EtOAc. Wash the extract with brine, dry it over anhydrous Na2SO4, filter the so-formed mixture, and evaporate the filtrate to leave a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel, eluting with CH2Cl-2-hexane to obtain 198 g of the title compound. ##STR100##
