A mixture of 4-cyclohexyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (Preparation 118A, 8 g, 31.6 mmol), acetic acid (30 mL), conc. hydrochloric acid, 37% (30 mL) and water (60 mL) was stirred at 110° C. under nitrogen (oil bath temp.) for 20 h. After water (100 mL) was added, the mixture was cooled. The solid was filtered, washed with water (3×15 mL) and dried to give 4-cyclohexyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (7 g, 25.7 mmol, 81% yield) as a brownish solid. The compound had an HPLC retention time=3.80 min. (condition C); LC/MS M+1=273.1.
