Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 47.43 g (0.131 mol) of 4-(4-fluorophenoxy)benzenesulfonic acid 4-fluorophenyl ester in 475 mL of ethanol was added 13.09 g (0.327 mol, 2.5 equivalents) of sodium hydroxide pellets. This mixture was heated at reflux for three hours and stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting solids were filtered yielding 37.16 g (98%) of 4-(4-fluorophenoxy)benzenesulfonic acid, sodium salt.
