Reaction Steps

A heterogeneous mixture of 2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-ethanone (8.33 g, 25.6 mmol) in acetic anhydride (65 ml) was added dropwise to a cooled (0° C.) solution of 65% nitric acid (140 ml) and acetic anhydride (21.3 ml). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. Water was added dropwise and the resulting heterogeneous mixture was allowed to stir and warm-up slowly. The crude was then filtered and the beige solid was washed several times with distilled water and dried under HV (6.98 g, 74%).
