The dried amide is dissolved at 40 in 170 ml of dimethyl formamide. To this solution are added dropwise at 50, in the course of 30 minutes, 26 g of phosphorus oxide trichloride. After 1 hour, the reaction mixture is poured into 300 ml of ice water. By several extractions with 100 ml amounts of dichloromethane, washing of the extracts with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution and then with water, drying over sodium sulphate and evaporation, 4-cyano-4'-(trans-4-pentyl-cyclohexyl)-biphenyl is isolated. It is purified by recrystallisation from ethanol; m.p. 93, c.p. 219.

Operation in experiment
With sulfuric acid; diisobutylaluminium hydride; In dichloromethane; water; argon; toluene;
(a) A solution of 10.0 g of 4'-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)-4-biphenylcarbonitrile in 150 ml of methylene chloride was placed at -35 C. in a sulphonation flast while gassing with argon and treated within 8 minutes with 40 ml of an about 1.5N solution of diisobutylaluminium hydride in toluene. After completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at -35 C. and then for a further 1.5 hours with gradual warming to 0 C., before it was treated cautiously with 100 ml of 1N sulphuric acid and extracted three times with 150 ml of diethyl ether each time. The organic phases were washed with 100 ml of 1N sulphuric acid, twice with 100 ml of water each time and once with 100 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated. There were obtained 9.5 g (95%) of 4'-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)-4-biphenylcarboxaldehyde as a colourless, crystalline mass (m.p. 115-116 C.) which was used in the following step without further purification. Rf value [toluene/ethyl acetate (19:1)]: educt 0.65, product 0.52.
