Procedure

Acetyl chloride (24.2 mL, 0.34 mol) is added slowly to a solution of 4-chloro-2-fluoroaniline (49.4 g, 0.34 mol), and triethylamine (47 mL, 0.34 mol) in tetrahydrofuran while maintaining the reaction mixture temperature below 20° C. After the addition is complete, the reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature, and poured into ethyl acetate. The organic solution is washed sequentially with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to obtain an off-white solid. A mixture of the solid in ethanol is stirred for several minutes, and filtered to give the title product as a white solid.
