Acetic acid (55 ml) and hydrobromic acid (55 ml) were added to (2-ethyl-4′-methoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)acetonitrile (5.5 g, 22 mmol) obtained in Example (26-3), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 10 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, ethyl acetate was added thereto and the mixture was successively washed with water and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. After methanol (150 ml) was added to the residue obtained by removing the solvent under reduced pressure, sulfuric acid (3 ml) was added to the mixture under ice-cooling. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. After ethyl acetate was added to the obtained residue, the mixture was washed with a saturated aqueous NaCl solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The residue obtained by removing the solvent under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1-2/1) to give methyl (2-ethyl-4′-hydroxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)acetate as a colorless solid (5.0 g, yield: 85%).
