Procedure

A stirred solution of 2-ethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxamide (2.1 g, 0.0093 mole) and potassium hydroxide (26.3 g, 0.4 mole) in 175 ml of 2-hydroxyethyl ether was heated at 163° for approximately 18 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with 150 ml of ice water. The solution was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid to form a precipitate. The precipitate was isolated by filtration and dissolved in diethyl ether; the ethereal solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to give 2-ethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid (2.2 g) as a solid.
