Procedure

6 ml of an aqueous solution containing 1.3 g of sodium hydroxide (93%), was added to 3.9 g of methyl 3-acetoxymethyl-2-chloro-4-methanesulfonylbenzoate and 100 ml of methanol. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. 50 ml of water was added thereto, and methanol was distilled off under reduced pressure. Then, the reaction mixture was acidified with hydrochloric acid and extracted with chloroform. The extract was concentrated to dryness to obtain 1.3 g of the desired product. Melting point: 240°-245° C.
