A mixture of N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl oxamic acid ethyl ester [1] (7.609 g, 27.56 mmol), ethanol (400 ml), NaOH (1N, 32 ml) and water (200ml) was stirred at r.t. overnight under N2. HCl (2N) was added to give pH 3 followed by extraction with CH2Cl2 (6x100 ml). The organic phases were combined, washed with water (100ml), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo to afford 6.163 g (90%) of N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl oxamic acid, a white solid.
