Reaction Steps

In 4 ml of dioxane was dissolved 49 mg of diethyl 2,3-diethoxy-4,4'-dimethoxy-2',3'-methylenedioxy-1,1'-biphenyl-6,6'-dicarboxylate obtained in Example 6, and 1 ml of a 5% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide was added to the solution. The mixture was heated at 70° C. and stirred overnight. The pH value was adjusted to 1 to 2 by 3N hydrochloric acid, the reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform, and the solvent was removed from the extract to obtain 38 mg of 2,3-diethoxy-4,4'-dimethoxy-2',3'-methylenedioxy-1,1'-biphenyl-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid having the following physical properties (the yield was 88%).
