Komponenten

Versuchsvorschrift

Combine methyl 2-methoxy-5-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)benzoate (2.86 g, 12.2 mmol) and a 1 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (13.43 mL, 13.43 mmol) in methanol/water 100 mL, 5:1 vol./vol.). Heat to reflux. After 4 hours. concentrate in vacuo to remove most of the methanol, add water (50 mL), and adjust the pH to about 4 using a 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. Evaporate in vacuo to give a solid, slurry the solid with water, filter, and dry to give 2-methoxy-5-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)benzoic acid.
