Participants

Reaction Steps

3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5-(methylsulfonyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (8.45 g; 25.65 mmol) was suspended in 1,4-dioxane (75 ml) and 100 ml of NaOH 1N solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then, it was concentrated in vacuo. The crude was suspended in water and treated with citric acid until pH 4. Then ethyl acetate was added, the organic phase separated, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. 6.85 g (22 mmol; 84% yield) of 3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5-(methylsulfonyl)-benzoic acid were obtained.
