To 15.0 g. (0.0476 moles) of ethyl 2'-chloro-4-biphenylylglycolate there is added slowly with stirring at 40°-50°C 23 g. (0.053 moles) of phosphorus pentabromide. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, then diluted with 70 ml. of petroleum ether, and poured into 125 ml. of ice-cold water.
