Ethyl 2-amino-5-chloro-3-hydroxybenzoate → 2-Amino-5-chloro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid

Temperature

80 °C

Ethyl 2-amino-5-chloro-3-hydroxybenzoate (3.23 g) was dissolved in 160 ml of a 3N aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and stirred at 85° C. for 3 hours and at 80° C. for 5 days. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, insoluble matters were filtered off, 320 ml of a 1N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added to the filtrate and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with pure water and dried in vacuo to give 1.55 g of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid.
