Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclobutane carbonitrile (41 g), potassium hydroxide (20 g) and diethylene glycol (160 ml) was heated under reflux for 3.5 hours. The mixture was added to water, acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid and extracted with ether. The extract yielded 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclobutane carboxylic acid.
