Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 90409898, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 100-mL round bottom flask, equipped with a stir bar was added methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(3-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)picolinate (0.284 g, 0.699 mmol), 1.0 N sodium hydroxide (2.79 mL, 2.79 mmol) and methanol (5.0 mL). The reaction was allowed to stir for 18 hours at room temperature. The solvent was then removed with a rotary evaporator. The resulting solid was diluted with H2O, which was adjusted to pH-3.0 with 1 N HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.056 g, 21%).
