Hydrochloric Acid → 7-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzo-thiepine-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiepine-4-carboxylate (0.50 g) in ethanol/THF (10/10 ml) was added at room temperature 1N sodium hydroxide solution (2 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 18 hours. To the mixture was added 1N hydrochloric acid (2 ml). Under reduced pressure, the mixture was concentrated. To the mixture was added water, and the precipitates were collected by filtration, which were washed with 2-propanol, diethylether and hexane to give pale yellow solid of 7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzo-thiepine-4-carboxylic acid (508 mg). This compound was used for the following reaction, without subjecting further purification.
