Carbonylation of halogenated hydrocarbons is a commonly used synthetic method, which can be used to prepare important organic compounds such as Ibuprofen.

The propylene oxide rearrangement of Ibuprofen is synthesized through two main steps. First, propylene and ammonium persulfate react to form propylene oxide. Then, under alkaline conditions, propylene oxide reacts with tartaric acid to undergo a ring-opening reaction to obtain a ring-opened product. Finally, under high temperature conditions, a rearrangement reaction is carried out to obtain Ibuprofen. This method gradually builds the structure of Ibuprofen through ring-opening and rearrangement reactions of propylene oxide.
