Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(3,5-dichloro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester (1100 mg, 4.0 mmol) and NaOH (700 mg, 16 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 yielded 3-(3,5-dichloro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-benzoic acid (908 mg).
