Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(2-Aminophenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1.50 g (7.31 mmol) of (E) ethyl 3-(2-aminophenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenate were dissolved; and, with 10 ml of a 1-N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution being added thereto, the mixture was reacted at 40° C. for 4 hours. After the completion of the reaction was verified by TLC, the mixture was cooled with 10 ml of 1-N hydrochloric acid being added thereto. The precipitated crystal was filtered out, whereby 1.30 g of the aimed compound were obtained (quantitatively).
