참여 물질

반응 단계

12.9 g (325 mmol) of sodium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of 16.9 g (58 mmol) of methyl 6-(2-methoxyethoxymethoxy)naphthalene-2-carboxylate in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 20 ml of methanol and a few drops of water, and the reaction medium is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Next, aqueous 1N hydrochloric acid solution is added until pH=2 is obtained, and the reaction medium is extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue obtained is washed with heptane and filtered. 14.9 g of 6-(2-methoxyethoxymethoxy)-2-naphthoic acid are obtained in the form of a white solid, in a yield of 92%.
