D. Gala et al., ONE-STEP SYNTHESIS OF BIPHENYLACETIC ACIDS VIA PD C-CATALYZED ARYLATION/, Organic process research & development, 1(2), 1997, pp. 163-164
An efficient, convenient, one-step synthesis of biphenylacetic acids u
sing Pd/C as a catalyst is described. This has been successfully used
for the preparation of mole amounts of acids.
