Reaktionsschritte

An aqueous 2N sodium hydroxide solution of the product of above-mentioned (a) (3.0 g, 15 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring to a 6% aqueous solution of potassium permanganate (50 ml) under ice cooling, and the reaction solution was stirred overnight with gradually raising the temperature to 25° C. To the reaction solution was added ethanol and the precipitated manganese dioxide was filtered off. The filtrate was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added methanol and stirred for 10 minutes. After the insoluble materials were filtered off, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 4.1 g of 4,5-dimethoxyphthalic acid.
