Sodium Hydroxide → 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 1-[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (Intermediate 10) (1.5 g, 5 mmol) and a 1N NaOH solution (7.5 mL, 1.5 eq) in ethanol (50 mL) was stirred at reflux for 48 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was acidified with a 1N HCl solution (15 mL). The precipitate formed was filtered, washed with water and dried to give the title compound as a white solid (1.25 g, 92%). LC/MS: m/z 272 (M+H)+. Rt: 2.05 min.
