Procedure

A mixture of 7.5 g of ethyl [(6,7-dichlorobenzo[b]thien-5-yl oxy]acetate, 15 g of potassium hydroxide pellets, 125 ml of ethanol and 125 ml of water is refluxed for 1 hour. Ethanol is removed under reduced pressure at 60° and the aqueous suspension is acidified with conc hydrochloric acid. The slurry is stirred at room temperature for 30 min. and extracted with ether (3×250 ml-portions). The combined ether extracts are washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give an off-white crystalline mass. Recrystallization of the crude product from acetone-cyclohexane gives 6.5 g of [(6,7-dichlorobenzo[b]thien-5-yl)oxy]acetic acid as an off-white powder, mp 166°-167°.
