After stirring for 5 minutes potassium carbonate (58.0 g, 420 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred an additional 5 minutes. Iodomethane (26.0 mL, 420 mmol) was then added (exothermic reaction) and the reaction stirred overnight. The reaction was diluted with methylene chloride, extracted multiple times with water, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give 4′-methoxy-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (16.26 g, 96%) as a tan solid, mp 170-173° C.
