Lithium Hydroxide → 4'-(3-chloropropoxy)[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product from Example 10B (3.4 g, 11.2 mmol) and lithium hydroxide (1.2 g, 28.6 mmol) in THF:water (3:1, 52 mL) were stirred vigorously at ambient temperature for 24 hours. The volume of the mixture was reduced under reduced pressure and then extracted with hexanes (2×25 mL). The remaining aqueous phase was acidified to pH 2 and then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The ethyl acetate extract was evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound as a solid (2.68 g).
