Claim One:
1. A method for preparing an acetamidobenzamide of the formula I: ##STR10## wherein R' is a saturated alkyl of from 3 to 5 carbon atoms and n is 1 and wherein the NHCOCH.sub.3 group is in the 4 position comprising the steps of: a) condensing a saturated alkyl amine of from 3 to 5 carbon atoms with a nitrobenzoylhalide of the formula ##STR11## wherein n is 1, the NO.sub.2 is in the 4 position and X is a halo selected from the group consisting of I, Br, F or Cl, to yield ##STR12## b) reducing the NO.sub.2 group in (III) to NH.sub.2 ; and c) acetylating the NH.sub.2 to NHCOCH.sub.3.
