Procedure: A mixture of 21.34 g (0.0639 mole) of 2-amino-3-benzoyl-5-chloro-α-(methylthio)-phenylacetamide and excess Raney nickel in a mixture of 900 ml of absolute ethanol and 200 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at room temperature for 45 min. The mixture was filtered through celite to remove the Raney nickel. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give a yellow solid which when recrystallized melted at 213.5°-215.0° C.(d).
