4-Bromo-2-methylbenzoic acid Use and Manufacturing

4-bromo-2-methylbenzonitrile (1 mmol) was suspended in water (49 mL) and potassium hydroxide was added (50 mmol); the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux overnight. After cooling, the basic solution was washed with ethyl acetate (3 x 15 mL), acidified with hydrochloric acid (6M) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 15 mL). The organic phase deriving from the acidic extraction was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo, yielding the desired product as a white solid. Yield: 60percent. TLC (dichloromethane – methanol 9:1): R
