Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22934520, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-(1-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzoate (0.700 g), 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (4.8 ml), tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and methanol (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs., and acidified by adding 1 M hydrochloric acid. The crystals were collected by filtration to give 4-(1-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (0.650 g, yield 97%). Recrystallization from hexane-tetrahydrofuran gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 243–244° C.
