Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66680278, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 mL of ethanol and 4.0 mL of 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were added to 615 mg (2.50 mmol) of ethyl [3-(furan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetate, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. 1N hydrochloric acid was added to acidify the reaction mixture, and water was added thereto. The precipitated solids were collected by filtration, washed with water, and air-dried, thereby giving 448 mg of [3-(furan-2-yl)phenoxy]acetic acid (yield: 82%).
