Optical resolution of (±)-(PM)-6,6’-Dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-dicarboxylic acid (37):<br />
Racemic diacid (37; 8.2 g, 21 mmol) was dissolved in boiling ethanol (40 mL) and quinine<br />
(6.7 g, 21 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated for a further 30 min until it became a<br />
clear yellow solution and the temperature was slowly brought to 25 °C where crystallization<br />
occurred. The diastereoisomeric salt was filtered and recrystallized from ethanol to give<br />
colorless crystals (7.03 g). Decomposition with 10% hydrochloric acid (40 mL, 80 mmol) and<br />
the usual extraction protocol with ethyl acetate (2 × 30 mL) afforded the enriched (-)-(P)-(37)<br />
enantiomer. This protocol was repeated until optical rotatory power remained constant;<br />

The residue obtained after evaporation of the combined mother liquor was decomposed the<br />

(±)-(PM)-Dimethyl-6,6’-dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-dicarboxylate (38): (±)-(PM)-6,6’-<br />
Dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-dicarboxylic acid (37; 4.0 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in methanol<br />
(0.10 mL) with a catalytic amount of 96% sulfuric acid and heated at 60 °C for 7 h. The<br />
mixture was then cooled down to 25 °C and crystallyzation occurred spontaneously. The solid<br />
was collected by filtration and washed with water and cold methanol to afford white prisms;<br />
m.p. 169 - 171 °C (ref. [15] m.p. 173 - 174 °C); yield: 3.77 g (88%).<br />
