Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a methanol (5.0 mL) solution of methyl 1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-5-carboxylate (0.33 g), a 1 mol/L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (4.3 mL) was added, and the resultant was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. A 1 mol/L aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was added to the reaction solution. The deposited solid was collected by filtration and dried to obtain the title compound (0.29 g) as a white solid.
