ChEBI: Fenbufen is a member of biphenyls and a 4-oxo monocarboxylic acid. It has a role as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

135 g of aluminum chloride is dissolved in 500 ml of nitrobenzene, the solution being held below 10°C by external cooling. A finely ground mixture of 50 g of succinic anhydride and 75 g of biphenyl is added to the stirred solution, the temperature being held below 10°C. It is then held at room temperature for four days. After pouring the reaction mixture into a solution of 150 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 1 liter of ice water, the nitrobenzene is removed by steam distillation. The solid is collected, dissolved in 4 liters of 3% hot sodium carbonate solution, clarified, and reprecipitated by the addition of excess 6N sulfuric acid solution. The crude product is collected, dried, and recrystallized from ethanol to give the pure subject compound, MP 185°C to 187°C.
