Participants

Reaction Steps

2,3-Dihydro-benzo[b]oxepine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.4 mmol) was dissolved in methanol. 5 ml of 2 mol/l sodiumhydroxide was added and the solution was stirred for two hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo. 2 mol/l hydrochloric acid were added and the solvent again removed in vacuo. The residue was extracted by diethylether. Evaporation of the solvent yielded 0.5 g of 2,3-Dihydro-benzo[b]oxepine-4-carboxylic acid. LC-MS: 1.8 min, 191.2 (MH+)
