Procedure

A mixture of 2′-methoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester of Step A (3.7 g, 14.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) and 1 N sodium hydroxide (30 mL, 30 mmol) was heated at reflux overnight. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was acidified with 2N hydrochloric acid to give a white solid which was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to provide the title compound (3.2 g, 97.4%) as a white solid, m.p. 250–253° C.
