Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.12 g of Isomer A of ethyl 4-[3-(4-oxo-2-thioxo-5-thiazolidinylidene)-1-butenyl]phenoxyacetate, 5 ml of water and 1 ml of 5% sodium hydroxide solution was stirred at room temperature for one hour. 10% hydrochloric acid was added to the mixture and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and washed with methanol to give Isomer A (54% yield) of 4-[3-(4-oxo-2-thioxo-5-thiazolidinylidene)-1-butenyl]phenoxyacetic acid.
