Glycolic Acid → HCID 178519930, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 40 ml 4M CHl 1.1 g (0.0087 mol) of 2,3-diaminophenol and 2 g (0.026 mol) of glycolic acid were added and the solution was heated under reflux for 20 h. Upon cooling the reaction mixture was alkalized with 10M NaOH to pH 8.5. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the residual oil was suspended in methanol. The suspension was filtered and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. Chromatography on silica gel and elution with methylene chloride:methanol (10:2) gave 0.78 g of the title compound.
