Reaction Steps

At 0° C., lithium hydroxide monohydrate (8.41 g, 0.2 mol) is added to a solution of methyl 3-bromophenoxyacetate (19.66 g, 80 mmol) in solution in 100 ml of a water-THF mixture (3:1). Agitation is continued for 15 minutes at 0° C. and then the mixture is acidified by a 3N aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. It is extracted with ether, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. 18.21 g of 3-bromophenoxyacetic acid is obtained (yield=98%).
