Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of dioxane was dissolved 1.3 g of dimethyl 2',3'-methylenedioxy-2,3,4,4'-tetramethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl-6,6'- dicarboxylate obtained in Example 2, and 10 mg of 5% potassium hydroxide was added to the solution. The mixture was heated at 70° C. and stirred overnight. When the pH value of the mixture was adjusted to 1 by 3N hydrochloric acid, crystals were precipitated. The precipitated crystals were recovered by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 1.12 g of 2',3'-methylenedioxy-2,3,4,4'-tetramethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid having the following physical properties (the yield was 92%).
