Procedure

2-Acetyldibenzothiophene (2.24g.), sodium hypochlorite solution, (47ml. containing 5.7% available chlorine), Normal sodium hydroxide solution (50 ml.) and dioxan (50 ml.), were heated on a steam bath with stirring for 5 hr. The mixture was acidified with excess hydrochloric acid, and the precipitated colourless solid filtered off, washed with water, and recrystallised twice from acetic acid to give dibenzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid, m.pt. 281°-283° C.

Workup
