Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,6-dimethyl-1,2-benzisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid amide (20 mg, 0.097 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) and H2O (2 mL) is added KOH (11′mg, 0.19 mmol). The solution is heated to 85° C. for 48 hours. The solution is cooled down and is placed in an ice bath. Conc. HCl is added to adjust the pH of the solution to 2. The precipitated solid is collected by means of filtration to afford 4,6-Dimethyl-1,2-benzisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid (15 mg, 75%).
