[00269] General Method 13: The synthesis of a biaryl or aryl-heteroaryl carboxylic acid from l-bromo-4-butylbenzene and an aryl- or heteroaryl boronic acid. An illustration of this method is depicted for 4-(4-butylphenyl)benzoic acid. [00271] A mixture of methyl 4-(4-butylphenyl)benzoate (89.0 g, 0.332 mol), NaOH (26.6 g, 0.664 mol) in THF/H₂0 (500 mL/100 mL) was heated to reflux overnight. After TLC showed the reaction was complete, THF was removed. The residue was adjusted pH -3-4 with 2 N HC1 solution. The resulting mixture was filtered and the cake was washed with water, dried to give 4-(4-butylphenyl)benzoic acid (60.0 g, yield: 71.1%), as a white solid. (ESI) m/z 255.0 (M + H)⁺.
