Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 21078377, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product from Stage 2 (2.18 g) was dissolved in propan-2-ol (25 ml) and a solution of sodium hydroxide (0.28 g) in water (10 ml) was added at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours, stored at ambient temperature for 18 hours and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the propan-2-ol. The residual aqueous solution was diluted with water, washed with ethyl acetate and the aqueous phase was acidified with hydrochloric acid. The acidic aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (three times) and the extracts were combined, washed with water (twice), dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a solid. The solid was washed with a small volume of diethyl ether then filtered from solution to give the required product as a colourless solid; 1.47 g; m.p. 162–164° C.
