Hydrochloric Acid → Thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate (D-2) (12 g, 62.1 mmol) in MeOH (150 mL) and H2O (15 mL) was added LiOH.H2O (5.2 g, 124.2 mmol). The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight, and then acidified with 1N aqueous HCl. The resulting white precipitate was collected by filtration and air-dried to afford the title compound. MS (m/z): 179 (M)+.
