Reaction Steps

40 mL water and 130 mL TFA was added to a solution of 11.40 g (0.023 mol) of N-[3-chloro-4-(2,2-diethoxy-ethoxy)-phenyl]-2-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-acetamide in 130 mL chloroform at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 3.5 hours at 0° C. and for 48 hours at RT. The reaction mixture was neutralised with sat. aqueous sodium carbonate solution and exhaustively extracted with dichloromethane. The combined org. extracts were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated down i. vac.
