ylmethyl)-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (4)
A mixture of nitrile derivative 3 (10.0g, 0.03 mol) and
KOH (5.0 g, 0.08 mol) in ethylene glycol (100 mL) was
heated to 150-155°C and maintained till the completion of
the reaction. The progress of the reaction was monitored by
TLC and after the completion of the reaction, solvent was
distilled off under reduced pressure, water (100 mL) was
charged in to the reaction mass and pH of the reaction mass
was adjusted to 4-5 using aqueous HCl. Precipitated
compound 4 was filtered and dried under reduced pressure at
60°C for 4-5 hour. Yield: 10.0 g. (94%) M.R.: 160-165°C,

Pyridine (0.2 mmol) was charged into a solution of
compound 4 (2 g, 0.005 mole) in toluene (10 mL) under
nitrogen atmosphere. Reaction mass was cooled to 0-5°C,
thionyl chloride (0.48 mL, 0.066 moles) was slowly added
and reaction mass was maintained for 2-3 hrs at ambient
temperature. Nitrogen was purged into the reaction mass for
5-10 minutes to remove excess SOCl2, methanol (0.27 g;
0.008 moles) was added into the reaction mass slowly over a
period of 20-30 minutes at 0-5°. Reaction mass was
maintained for 2-3 hrs at ambient temperature and poured
into water (10.0 mL) and product was extracted into ethyl
acetate. Organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3
solution (10 mL) followed by water (10 mL) and solvent was
distilled off completely under reduced pressure and pH was
adjusted to 2-3 using methanolic HCl (15%) in acetonitrile
(10.0 mL) medium that affords the corresponding acid
derivative (5a). Yield: 1.6 g, (80%).
