Procedure

The product from paragraph (a) (6.86 g) in ethanol (50 ml) was heated and stirred with a solution of sodium hydroxide (0.8 g) in water (10 ml) at 60°-70° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was then cooled and the ethanol removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted to 100 ml with water and brought to pH 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The solid which separated was collected and recrystallised from toluene to give the required benzoic acid derivative (4.26 g) with a melting point of 192°-192.5° C.
