Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation process for 4-cyano-4'-hydroxybiphenyl, the process comprising the protection of the aldehyde function of 4-bromo-benzaldehyde, the reaction of the protected 4-bromo-benzaldehyde with p-alkoxyphenyl magnesium halide, the deprotection of the formyl radical of the protected 4-alkoxy-4'-formyl-biphenyl and conversion of the formyl group into cyano and hydrolysis of the alkoxy group of the resulting 4-alkoxy 4'-cyano-biphenyl.
