Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 g (0.063 mole) of 2-bromo-3-phenyl-5-benzofurancarboxylic acid and 1.25 1 of acetic acid is stirred and heated to 55° C. To this mixture is added 7.7 g (0.094 mole) of cyclohexene. To this mixture is added dropwise 8.7 g (0.094 mole) of dinitrogen tetroxide in 25 ml of acetic acid. After 5 hours the mixture is poured into cold water and the solid product is collected. Recrystallization from aqueous ethanol followed by recrystallization from a benzene-ethanol mixture provides 2-nitro-3-phenyl-5-benzofurancarboxylic acid, m.p. 271°-273° C.
