The resulting suspension was cooled to 0° C. before being treated dropwise over 10 minutes with a solution of sodium nitrite (4.6 g, 67 mmol) in water (10 ml). After stirring at 0° C. for 30 minutes the reaction was poured into hot (70° C.) water (500 ml). On cooling to ambient temperature the product was extracted into ethyl acetate (500 ml), the organic layer was washed with water (300 ml), brine (300 ml) and dried (Na2SO4). Filtration and concentration in vacuo afforded 7.1 g (65%) of 3′-hydroxybiphenyl-2-carbonitrile as a dark oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.40 (1H, br), 6.92 (1H, ddd, J 8, 3, 1 Hz), 7.04 (1H, dd, J 3, 3 Hz), 7.11 (1H, ddd, J 8, 3, 1 Hz), 7.35 (1H, dd, J 8, 8 Hz), 7.44 (1H, ddd, J 8, 8, 1 Hz), 7.51 (1H, dd, J 8, 1 Hz), 7.64 (1H, ddd, J 8, 8, 1 Hz), 7.75 (1H, dd, J 8, 1 Hz).
