Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 22120010, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.3 g (6.4 mmol) of tert-butyl 2,4-dichloro-3-((2-furyl)(methoxymethyl))benzoate in 50 ml of methanol and 15 ml of water are heated under reflux with 0.7 g (16.1 mmol) of sodium hydroxide for 4 h. 5.0 ml of a 10% strength aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are added and the mixture is heated for a further 3 h. After the reaction mixture has been concentrated under reduced pressure, 50 ml of water are added and the reaction mixture is extracted with dichloromethane. The aqueous phase is acidified using 10% strength aqueous hydrochloric acid and the product is extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and freed from the solvent under reduced pressure. Yield 1.8 g.
