반응 단계

The 2-(2'-nitro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid is readily prepared in the following manner: 2-nitrobiphenyl is acylated with acetyl chloride, giving 4-acetyl-2'-nitrobiphenyl. This is converted with chloroacetonitrile under alkaline conditions to the intermediate isomeric 2-methyl-2-[4-(2'-nitrophenyl)]glycidonitriles which, when treated with lithium perchlorate and then base, is isomerized to methyl 2-(2'-nitro-4-biphenylyl)propionate. Saponificiation of the latter gives the desired 2-(2'-nitro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid. The esters are readily converted to the acid and the acid to the esters by conventional means.
