Hydrochloric Acid → 5,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 5,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3-carboxylate (1.0 g, 6.32 mmol) in 10:1 MeOH:THF (16.5 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (0.30 g, 13 mmol) in water (15 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was carefully acidified with 1N aqueous HCl, and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound. The residue was carried forward without further purification.
