Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 7-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiepine-4-carboxylate (450 mg) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (10 ml) was added 6N hydrochloric acid (10 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 64 hours, cooled to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crystals, which were collected by filtration to give colorless crystals of 7-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiepine-4-carboxylic acid (395.5 mg).
