Reaction Steps

A mixture of dimethyl 4-hydroxyisophthalate (10 g) and pyridine (100 ml) was heated at reflux overnight. After cooling, 6 M hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution. The thus-precipitated crystals were filtered, thereby giving 9.15 g of methyl 3-carboxy-4-hydroxybenzoate.
