Procedure

Combine methyl 2-methoxy-5-methylsulfonamidobenzoate (1.0 g, 3.86 mmol) and lithium hydroxide (93 mg, 3.86 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/water (50 mL/10 mL). After 18 hours, add lithium hydroxide (100 mg) and heat to reflux. After 1 hour, cool to ambient temperature and evaporate to remove most of the tetrahydrofuran. Dilute the evaporated reaction mixture with water (about 70 mL) and acidify to pH of about 1 using a 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. Evaporate to dryness and triturate with dichloromethane (200 mL). Filter and evaporate the filtrate to give the title compound: mp; 160-163° C.
