Reaction Steps

An aqueous 6 N hydrochloric acid solution (5 mL) was added to methyl 4-(2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl)benzoate (72 mg), followed by stirring at 90° C. for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, water was added, and the solid was collected by filtration. After washing with water, this solid was dried under reduced pressure to obtain 4-(2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl)benzoic acid (65 mg) as a pale brown solid.
