Yield:18850-48-1 99%
Reaction Conditions:
Stage #1: ethyl 4-(p-tolylthio)butanoatewith methanol;sodium hydroxide at 20; for 2 h;
Stage #2: with hydrogenchloride in water;
Steps:
111.2
Step 2 : 2.9 ml_ of 4N sodium hydroxide were added to a solution of 910 mg (3.82 mmol) of ethyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)thio]butanoate in 5 ml_ of methanol. The mixture was stirred 2 h at room temperature then concentrated in vacuo. Water was added then 6N hydrochloric acid. The formed precipitate was filtered to give 792 mg of 4-[(4- methylphenyl)thio]butanoic acid in 99% yield.
