Reaction Steps

150 g of 2-Methyl-3-nitro phenylacetonitrile is added to 750 ml pure water and 600 ml acetic acid. 675 ml sulfuric acid is added drop wise to the reaction mixture and refluxed for 6-7 hours. After completion of reaction, 2000 ml water is added to it and stirred for 30-45 minutes, filtered and dried to give 2-Methyl-3-nitro phenylaceticacid (130-135 g).
