Lithium Hydroxide → 4-[3-(Pyridin-4-yl)propyloxy]benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 19-4 (3.2 g, 11.9 mmol), 1N LiOH (25 mL), and THF (50 mL) was stirred overnight at ambient temperature. After 20 h, the solution was washed with EtOAc and then acidified with 10% KHSO4 to give a suspension of white solid. The aqueous portion was extracted with CHCl3 and then the aqueous portion containing the solid was filtered. After drying the solid at 50° C. for 3 h, 19-5 was obtained. Rf 0.47 (silica, 10/1/1 CH2Cl2 /CH3OH/AcOH).
