Reaction Steps

To 42 g (0.17 mol) of the above 3'-fluoro-4'-methoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid were added 1.7 l of acetic acid and 300 ml of 48% hydrogen bromide solution, which was refluxed for 20 hours, poured into 3.5 l of water and air cooled. The precipitated crystal was filtered to obtain 36.4 g (yield: 92%) of 3'-fluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid.
