Reaction Steps

2-[2-(2,4-dichloro-phenoxy)-acetylamino]-benzoic acid methyl ester (94.6 mg, 0.27 mmol) in THF/H2O (3:1, 25 mL) was treated with LiOHH2O (22.7 mg, 0.54 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then acidified with 10% HCl to PH 2, and added ethyl acetate and brine. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (MgSO4 anh), and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CH2Cl2:MeOH=6:1) to give 2-[2-(2,4-dichloro-phenoxy)-acetylamino]-benzoic acid as a white solid (81.7 mg, 88.9% yield).
