Toluene → HCID 66990315, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2 mol/L aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (8.6 mL) was added to a solution mixture of the obtained benzyl 2-(benzyloxy)-5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzoate (1.4 g) in dioxane (10 mL) and methanol (5 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hours. Toluene was added to the reaction mixture, and the aqueous layer was separated. After adjusting the pH to 1 with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid, the solid substance was collected by filtration to obtain 0.65 g of 2-(benzyloxy)-5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzoic acid as a white solid.
