ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns the novel compounds dialkyl 2-(3-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-2-methylmalonate IIIa and dialkyl 2-(3-fluoro-4-aminophenyl)-2-methylmalonate IVa useful as intermediates in an improved process for making 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid, known as flurbiprofen, having the formula ##STR1## and ester thereof. It has anti-inflammatory activity which is about 240 times that of aspirin and analgesic activity which is about 180 times that of aspirin in standard laboratory tests. However, despite this high activity, the toxicity (LD.sub.50) is only 1.2 to 2.4 times greater than that of aspirin in standard laboratory tests.
Also within the invention is a novel method of making the above intermediates and analogs thereof useful to prepare corresponding biaryl compounds which have pharmaceutical uses.
