Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(2-Amino-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1.0 g of (E) 3-(2-amino-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoic acid ethyl ester was dissolved; and, with 10 ml of a 1-N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution being added thereto, the mixture was reacted at 40° C. for 4 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled with 10 ml of 1-N hydrochloric acid being added thereto, and the precipitated crystal was filtered out, whereby 0.85 g of the aimed compound was obtained (95%).
