Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Benzyloxy-4,5-dimethoxypicolinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-benzyloxy-4,5-dimethoxypicolinate (20 mg) was dissolved in 1 ml of methanol. A 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (0.33 ml) was added to the solution, and a reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction solution was neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid, and was then concentrated under the reduced pressure to give the title compound.
