Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 2-(methylsulfonamido)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (1.0 g, 3.367 mmol) in THF (20 ml) and water (20 ml) was added lithium hydroxide (0.4242 g, 10.10 mmol) and stirred at RT for 6 h. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1.5 N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml). The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The solid was filtered and dried under vacuum to get 2-(methylsulfonamido)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (0.7 g, 73%) as white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.31 (s, 3H), 7.78 (d, 1H), 7.97 (d, 1H), 8.24 (s, 1H), 11.13 (bs, 1H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 40.74, 116.5, 118.3, 122.8 (m), 128.8, 131.6, 144.3, 169.1. MS found: (M−H)−=282.
