Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-cyano-5-iodo-4-methoxybenzoate (8.00 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) and water (50 mL), and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (423 g) was added to the solution, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The organic solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the aqueous layer was washed with n-hexane. The aqueous layer was acidified with 2N hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (7.26 g) as a colorless crystal.
