Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(5-chloro-pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (780 g, 2.8 mmol) and NaOH (500 mg, 12 mmol) in methanol:THF:water (1:1:1, 6 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. Solvents were evaporated. Crude mass was taken in water (40 mL), acidified to pH 4.0 and extracted with ethyl acetate. Evaporation of ethyl acetate provided 3-(5-chloro-pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)-benzoic acid (580 mg).
