Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3.0 g of dimethyl (E)-2-chloro-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylate in 30 ml of methanol was treated with 36 ml of 1M sodium hydroxide solution and heated under reflux for 5 hours. After cooling, 37 ml of 1M hydrochloric acid were added dropwise. The resulting slurry was suction filtered; the residue was washed with water and dried at 70° C. in a vacuum to give (E)-2-chloro-stilbene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, MS: m/z 302 (M+).
