To this mixture was added dropwise 7.74 g (0.05 mol) of phosphorus oxytrichloride, and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was added to 50 ml of a 10%-aqueous sodium hydroxide and washed. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the organic layer was concentrated by distilling off toluene by using a rotary evaporator, to give 64.2 g of tert-butyl 4′-methyl-2-biphenylcarboxylate as crystals (yield: 95% based on 4′-methyl-2-biphenylcarboxylic acid, purity by HPLC: 99.9%). Incidentally, the obtained compound had the same physical properties as those of the compound obtained in Example II-1.
