| Solvent | Sodium Hydroxide | HCID 14798 | — |
| Product | Pteroic Acid | HCID 135398749 | — |
Reaction Steps
The ester (2.64 g) is hydrolyzed by heating with 350 ml of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide at 100° C for 30 minutes (under nitrogen and protected from light). The solution is cooled to 20° C and adjusted to pH 3 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The precipitate is collected by centrifugation at 300 rpm. After washing twice with water and freeze drying, the product pteroic acid is obtained.
