Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of diphenylacetic acid (30.0 g; 141 mmol) and o-nitrophenol (39.3 g; 282 mmol) in pyridine (250 mL) was cooled to 0° C. N,N1 -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (27.6 g; 134 mmol) was added at 0° C. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for several hours, warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The resulting heterogeneous solution was diluted with EtOAc and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to afford a thick oil which was dissolved in a minimal amount of warm isopropanol. Upon cooling the sub-title compound began to crystallize from solution. The crystals were collected and dried under vacuum to afford the sub-title compound (37.3 g; 82%) as an off-white powder.
