Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → (3-Ethylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

(3-Ethylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (0.28 g, 1.1 mmol) was dissolved in THF and LiOH hydrate (63 mg, 1.5 mmol) in water was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and then diluted with ethyl acetate and 10% citric acid. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to afford (3-ethylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acetic acid as a solid (0.25 g, 1.1 mmol 99% yield). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 7.71 ppm, 1H, s; 7.70 ppm, 1H, m; 7.50 ppm, 3H, m; 4.11 ppm, 1H, br s; 3.70 ppm, 2H, s; 2.81 ppm, 2H, m; 0.99 ppm, 3H, t.
