Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 23671039, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

126 g (0.48 mol) of 2-(phenylthio-methoxy)-benzoic acid were dissolved in 500 ml of water, with addition of 19.18 g (0.48 mol) of sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then evaporated completely at 60° C. under reduced pressure. The colourless pulverulent product which remained was dried at 100° C. under reduced pressure for 16 hours. 133.5 g (98.6% of theory) of sodium 2-(phenylthio-methoxy)-benzoate of melting point 204°-207° C. were obtained in this manner.
