Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 10067333, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-{[3-(2-{4-[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]phenoxy}ethyl)phenoxy]methyl}benzoate (0.109 g, 0.24 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of THF/water (7/1, 2.5 ml). Lithium hydroxide (23 mg, 0.96 mmol) was added. The reaction was performed in a single node microwave oven (7 min, 150° C.). The mixture was acidified (HCl, 1 ml, 1 M) and the water phase was extracted with two portions of EtOAc. The organic phases were combined, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was removed by evaporation and gave 16 mg of 2-({3-[2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)ethyl]phenoxy}methyl)benzoic acid (yield 18%)
