The solution is stirred at room temperature for about 3 hours, the solution added to water and the mixture extracted several times with benzene. The combined benzene extracts are washed with dilute base and water, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure and crystallized to give ethyl 2-amino-6-biphenylacetate.
