Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22754231, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 11.05 grams (0.05 mole) of 4-((6-fluoro-2-pyridyl)thio)phenol (prepared as above in Example VI) and 8.10 grams (0.15 mole) of sodium methoxide in 200 milliliters of methanol was heated at reflux overnight. The resulting solution was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and thereafter diluted with water. The solid 4-((6-methoxy-2-pyridyl)thio)phenol product was recovered by filtration, water washed and dried. The product was recovered in a yield of 10 grams (86 percent of theoretical) and melted at 88.5°-94.5° C.
