Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Cyano-4-methoxybenzoic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred solution of methyl 3-cyano-4-methoxybenzoate (1.1 g, 5.70 mmol) in a mixture of THF (70 mL), MeOH (70 mL) and water (5 mL) was added LiOH (0.97 g, 23.01 mmol) at RT and the reaction mixture was then stirred at RT for 1 h. The reaction mixture was acidified to pH ˜2 with 2 N HCl and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 3-cyano-4-methoxybenzoic acid (1.0 g, 100%) as a solid.
