Reaction Steps

To a solution of 130 mg (0.36 mmol) 2-chloro-4-(2,5-dichloro-phenoxy)-6-methyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester in 2 mL dioxane was added 2 mL water and 23 mg (0.541 mmol) lithium hydroxide monohydrate. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature and was concentrated under high vacuum. The so-obtained light yellow solid was pure enough for the next step without further purification. MS (ESI): 331.965 [M+H]+.
