Reaction Steps

0.46 g of methyl 3-[(4-cyanophenoxy)methyl]benzoate and 175 mg of lithium hydroxide monohydrate were stirred in 7 ml of a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran, methanol and water (2:1:2) for 1 hour to hydrolyze the ester. The reaction mixture was added to 1 M of hydrochloric acid. The precipitate thus formed was taken by the filtration and then dried to obtain the title compound in the form of white crystals.
