Reaction Steps

5 g of 3-bromophenylacetic acid are dissolved in 80 ml of ethanol, 3 ml of concentrated H2SO4 are added and then the solution is heated at reflux for 2 hours. The ethanol is evaporated and the residue is neutralized with saturated K2CO3 solution and then extracted with AcOEt and dried over MgSO4. This gives 5.2 g of the expected compound in liquid form.
