Reaction Steps

To 0.5 gram of 1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethane-1,2-dione prepared in Step 1, was add 10 milliliters of concentrated nitric acid and the resulting mixture was heated to 110° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into 20 milliliters of water. The precipitate was recrystallized from ethanol to give 1-(4-ethoxy-3-nitrophenyl)-2-phenylethane-1,2-dione. The synthesis is summarized by the equation:
