Procedure

The above ester was heated at reflux for 2 hours in a mixture of 1 M aqueous potassium hydroxide and 50 ml THF. The THF was removed in vacuo and the solution cooled, then acidified with 50% HCl to give 4-(1,3-oxazol-5-yl)benzoic acid as a white solid.

Workup

  1. customThe THF was removed in vacuo
  2. temperaturethe solution cooled
