To the acetonitrile solution where BMB is mixing with 2-(4-methylphenyl)benzonitrile [MPB] which was not brominated and 2-(4,4-dibromomethylphenyl)benzonitrile which is a compound similar to BMB, was added a mixture of methyl 2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-nitrobenzoate [BAN] 30.1 g, potassium carbonate 40.8 g and acetonitrile 160 ml and the solution was stirred at about 82° C. for about 5 hours to proceed the reaction. The solution was cooled to room temperature and precipitated crystals were filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to give methyl 2-[N-t-butoxycarbonyl-N-[(2′-cyano-biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]amino]-3-nitrobenzoate [BBN]. The concentrate was dissolved in methanol 190 g. To the methanol solution was dropped concentrated hydrochloric acid 106 g and the solution was heated to refluxing temperature for 2 hours and thereafter stirred under reflux for 2 hours to proceed the reaction. The reaction solution was cooled and the precipitated crystals were filtered and dried to give methyl 2-[N-(2′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methylamino]-3-nitrobenzoate [MBN] 35.1 g (yield based on 2-(4-methylphenyl)benzonitrile [MPB]: 76.1%).
