Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Benzyloxy-4,6-dimethoxypicolinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-benzyloxy-4,6-dimethoxypicolinate (33 mg) was dissolved in 2 ml of methanol. A 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (0.54 ml) was added to the solution, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 4 hr. The reaction solution was neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid, and was then concentrated under the reduced pressure to give the title compound.
