Conditions

Temperature: 50 °C

Procedure

Methyl 3-methyl-4′-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylate (0.70 g, 2.1 mmol) was suspended in THF (5 mL), MeOH (5 mL) and water (2.5 mL), and NaOH (0.41 g, 10.3 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 3 h. Upon cooling to rt, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by reversed-phase HPLC to give 0.498 g (94%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.62 (s, 3H), 7.62-7.68 (m, 2H), 7.91-8.05 (m 3H), 7.18 (t, 1H), 8.31 (d, 1H).
