Reaction Steps

3.55 g. of 3-(2',4'-difluoro-4-biphenylyl)-3-bromobutyric acid, obtained by brominating 3-(2',4'-difluoro-4-biphenylyl)butyric acid, are dissolved in a mixture of 15 ml. of acetone and 15 ml. of water. One drop of sulfuric acid is added and the mixture is warmed to 45° for 4 hours and worked up in the customary manner to give 3-(2',4'-difluoro-4-biphenylyl)-3-hydroxybutyric acid, m.p. 121°-123°.
