Procedure

A solution of 0.6 g (0.0027 mol) of methyl 3-(thiazol-2-yl)benzoate in 6 ml of THF and 1.2 ml of water was charged with 0.11 g (0.0046 mol) of lithium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT overnight. THF was removed and the aqueous layer was washed with ether and acidified with 1.5 N HCl. The solid product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and concentrated to afford 3-(thiazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (0.4 g) as an off white solid obtained. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 7.45 (d, 1H), 7.63 (m, 1H), 8.0 (d, 1H), 8.22 (d, 1H), 8.30 (d, 1H), 8.79 (s, 1H). MS found: (M−H)−=204.
