Tetrahydrofuran → 3-Chloro-4-(1-indolinylcarbonylamino)phenylacetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To ethyl 3-chloro-4-(1-indolinylcarbonylamino)phenylacetate (3.07 g, 8.56 mmol) were added 0.25N NaOH (68.4 ml, 17.1 mmol) and THF (70 ml). The mixture was heated and refluxed for 4 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured in 1N hydrochloric acid (50 ml). The crystals thus precipitated were collected by filtration, and dried under reduced pressure for 12 hours, whereby 3-chloro-4-(1-indolinylcarbonylamino)phenylacetic acid (1.71 g, 60%) was obtained as a colorless crystalline powder.
