Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 2, the enol ether of the formula ##STR2## is reacted with thallium (lll) acetate in an aqueous acetic acid/hexane mixture at 25° to 50° C. until methyl 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionate is formed. This ester is isolated from the reaction mixture and hydrolyzed to 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid (generic name, flurbiprofen) by the described procedure.
