Sodium Hydroxide → 2-((4,6-Dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)oxy)acetic acid

반응 단계

2g (9.5mmol) of the ethyl ester prepared in Example 7 were dissolved in 20ml of ethanol. 25ml of an aqueous solution (10% by vol) of sodium hydroxide were then added to the solution. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. After the reaction was complete, as confirmed by thin layer chromatography, the ethanol was evaporated off, the aqueous residue cooled, acidified to a pH of 2 and the product extracted into chloroform. Following drying first over anhydrous sodium sulphate and then by evaporation, 0.6g (yield 35% by weight) of a reddish oil were obtained which oil crystallised on standing.
