実験手順

The diisopropyl-(benzylthio)-terephthalate obtained in Preparation 2 is refluxed with 500 ml. of methanol, 25 g. of potassium hydroxide and 50 ml. of water for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is then concentrated to a small volume, cooled, diluted with water and filtered through diatomaceous earth (Celite). The thus-obtained filtrate is acidified with 4N hydrochloric acid and the precipitate with forms is collected by filtraton and dried in an oven at 90°-100° C. to yield 45 g. (yield 87%) of (benzylthio)-terephthalic acid having a melting point of 299°-300° C.
