Polyphosphoric acid (50 g) was heated in an oil bath at 140-145° C. and 2,3-diphenyl-propanoic acid (2.5 g) was added. Heating was continued for 45 min. Water was added. The mixture was cooled and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were washed with 1 M NaOH solution and water. After drying the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The product thus obtained was further purified by trituration in heptane.
