Procedure: To a stirring solution of 1,1'-biphenylcarboxylic acid (1.0 g, 4.6 mmol) in 10 ml of dry benzene, under argon was added oxalyl chloride (0.40 ml, 2.0 eq.). To this solution was added DMF dropwise in 10 minute intervals, until no gas was evolved and the solution turned slightly cloudy (two drops). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, then reduced on the rotovap without heating. The crude product, white solid, was carried directly on to the next step. without heating

Procedure: The intermediate N-methoxy-N-methyl-p-biphenylcarboxamide was first formed. Pyridine (4 mL, 5 equivalents) and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (980 mg, 10 mmol) were added to a solution of p-biphenylcarbonyl chloride (2.16 g, 10 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (10 mL). The solution was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature and then diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed sequentially with 1N HCl (2×20 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate (20 mL), and brine (20 mL). It was then dried over magnesium surfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give N-methoxy-N-methyl-p-biphenylcarboxamide as a solid (1.78 g, 74%). The solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane for analysis: mp 77°-78° C. The identity of the solid was confirmed as that of N-methoxy-N-methyl-p-biphenylcarboxamide by IR, proton NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis, with mass spectrometric determination of the molecular weight. washed sequentially with 1N HCl (2×20 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate (20 mL), and brine (20 mL) It was then dried over magnesium surfate evaporated under reduced pressure
