Water → 7-beta-Galactosylcoumarin-3-carboxylic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 24 g of potassium hydroxide, 80 ml of water, 240 ml of methanol, and 20 g (0.035 mol) of ethyl 7-β-galactosylcoumarin-3-carboxylate [Burd et al, Clin. Chem.] was prepared. The methanol was removed under reduced pressure. The concentrated aqueous solution was acidified to pH 2.6 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The white precipitate was collected, washed with cold water, and recrystallized from hot water. The crystals were collected, washed with acetone, and dried at 80° C. for 1 hour. This gave 12 g (54% yield) of 7-β-galactosylcoumarin-3-carboxylic acid as white crystals, mp 250°-255° C.
