Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution (10 mL) of ethyl 4-methoxy-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate (1.37 g) synthesized by a known method (WO2007/089031) in methanol was added 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hr. The reaction was quenched with 6N hydrochloric acid (1 mL), and the obtained crystals were collected by filtration. The obtained crystals were recrystallized from methanol and diisopropyl ether to give 4-methoxy-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (1.25 g, 100%) as white crystals.
