Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(2-Pyridyloxy)acetic acid hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl(pyridin-2-yloxy)acetate (0.18 g) in THF (1.5 mL) was added 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid (1.5 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was warmed to room temperature, and stirred for 2 hr. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resultant solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate and diisopropyl ether to give the title compound (0.11 g).
