The compound Dihydro-5-(4'-hydroxy-4-biphenylyl)-2(3H)-furanone may be prepared by treating 4'-methoxy-γ-oxo-4-biphenylbutyric acid with hydrogen bromide in acid to produce 4'-hydroxy-γ-oxo-4-biphenylbutyric acid. This in turn is treated with sodium borohydride as described above and then purified with organic solvents to produce the desired product.
