Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2 g (7.6 mmol) of 5-allyloxy-N,N-dimethyl-isophthalamic acid methyl ester in 16.8 ml of THF/MeOH (1:1) 8.4 ml of 1 M KOH (1.1 eq.) are added at 0° C. The mixture is stirred at rt for 3 h. The organic solvents are removed under reduced pressure, and the aqueous phase is acidified with HCl to pH 2 and extracted with DCM/EtOH (80:20) (2×38 ml). The combined organic layers are washed with 8 ml of water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to give the product in the form of a colorless solid (m.p.: 93-95° C.).
