Acetic anhydride was added during 5 minutes to a stirred solution of 4-aminophenylsulphur pentafluoride (30.2 g) in acetic acid at 40° C. and then heated at 65° C. for 0.5 hour. The cooled mixture was added to water, stirred for 1 hour and filtered. The solid was washed with water, sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried and purified by stirring with hexane to give 4-acetamidophenylsulphur pentafluoride (27.0 g), m.p.131-132° C.
