Reaction Steps

To a solution of 18.5 g of 4-Acetoxy-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in 100 ml ethanol/water (9:1), 240 ml of a 1M NaOH was added and stirred for 2 days at RT. Then, the reaction mixture was acidified to pH 2 with diluted hydrochloric acid to precipitate the product. The product was then collected by filtration and dried reduced pressure. Yield: 13.7 g.
