Reaction Steps

Biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid (217.0 mg, 1.09 mmol) in THF was added to LiAlH4 (1.0 M in THF) (1.64 ml) at 0° C. under N2 during 15 min. The mixture was then stirred at r.t. for 2.5 h. H2O was carefully added to the mixture at 0° C. NaOH (1.0 M) was added. The product was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated yielding the title compound as a yellow oil (95%).
