Participants

Reaction Steps

0.6 g of ethyl [3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl]acetate (Example 2) is dissolved in 20 ml of methanol with 0.4 g of sodium hydroxide and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 h. It is acidified with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid and the precipitated crystals are filtered off. After washing with water and drying, [3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl]acetic acid remains as colorless crystals of m.p. 231-233° C.
