The title compound, 8 , which is expected to serve as a fluorescent substrate for α‐chymotrypsin, was prepared by esterification of acridine‐2‐acetic acid, 4 , whose synthesis was achieved by two routes. One began with 4‐aminophenylacetic acid and proceeded through the acridanone‐2‐acetic acid, 3 , in 49% yield overall. The other began with 4‐aminoacetophenone and proceeded through 2‐acetylacridanone, 6 , in 3% yield overall.
