Reaction Steps

Add 191 g of 2-chloro-2',4'-difluoroacetophenone (Aldrich Chemical Co.) to a mixture of 246 g of sodium acetate, 3 g of Nal, and 3 L of DMF. Stir the mixture at 20° C. for 18 hr. then concentrate it to 1 L. Pour the residue into 6 L 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. ##STR101##
