Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5 ml ethanol, was dissolved 2,4-dichloro-3-formylbenzoate in an amount of 1.04 g, and the resulting solution was then added with 10 ml aqueous solution of 1N-sodium hydroxide and further stirred for 17 hours at an ambient temperature. The reacted-mixture was poured into 40 ml ice water and then acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the crystals resulted were filtrated and then dried to obtain an objective product, 2,4-dichloro-3-formylbenzoic acid in an amount of 0.75 g in crystalline form. The melting point of the product was found to be in a range of 188-190° C.
