Reaction Steps

To 4-Acetyl-4′-benzyloxy-2′-methoxybiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 7b (4.06 g, 9.7 mmol) and NaOH (0.773 g, 19.4 mmol) was added methanol (60 mL) and water (60 mL). The reaction was refluxed under Ar for 7 h then cooled to room temperature. After placing in an ice bath, 1 M HCl was added to give a yellow precipitate that was filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from THF/hexanes to give 2.7 g (69%) of 8b as yellow crystals. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) dH 2.68 (4H, s, COCH3), 3.62 (3H, s, OCH3), 5.16 (2H, s, CH2Ph), 6.77 (1H, s, ArH), 7.18 (1H, s, ArH), 7.33-7.52 (5H, m, CH2Ph), 3.90 (3H, s, OCH3), 5.22 (2H, S, CH2Ph), 6.58 (1H, s, ArH), 6.90 (1H, s, ArH), 7.34-7.50 (6H, m, ArH+Ch2Ph), 8.17 (1H, d, ArH), 8.50 (1H, s, ArH),
