Procedure

To the above benzoic acid methyl ester (12.3 g, 40.0 mmol) suspended in a mixture of water (125 ml) and ethanol (125 ml) was added sodium hydroxide (4.80 g, 0.12 mol) and the reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 20 h. The volatiles were evaporated in vacuo and to the residue was added water (50 ml) followed by concentrated hydrochloric acid to pH=1. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h and the precipitate was filtered off and washed with water (3×25 ml), suspended in diethyl ether (100 ml) and stirred for 2 h. The precipitate was filtered off and dried in vacuo at 50° C. which afforded 10.23 g (81%) of 3-(biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)benzoic acid as a solid.
