After 15 minutes, the reaction mixture was treated with ice-water. Ethyl acetate (30 mL) was then added, the organic layer was separated, and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (10 mL) and dried over MgSO4. After removal of solvent, the residue obtained was crystallized from toluene to afford 1-(4-amino-3′-chloro-biphenyl-3-yl)-ethanol as a white solid (0.087 g, 58%): 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.55 (t, 1H, J=1.4 Hz), 7.50 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.44 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 7.39 (t, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 7.31-7.21 (m, 2H), 6.68 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), (s, 2H), 5.20 (m, 1H), 4.83 (m, 1H), 1.35 (d, 3H, J=8.8 Hz); MS (EI) m/z 247 (M+).
