Hydrochloric Acid → 2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

Diethyl-1,4-cyclohexanedione-2,5-dicarboxylate is reacted with bromine in cold sulfuric acid (0°-10° C.) to provide the aromatized product, diethyl-2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate. Hydrolysis of the diethyl-2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate by refluxing in aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by acidification with HCl provides 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid. The diacid may be converted to the diacid halide by reaction with thionyl halide in diethyl ether.
