The mixture is heated to 60° C. and 30.4 g (0.2 mol) of piperonyl alcohol are introduced. The temperature is raised to 95° C. and the mixture is allowed to cool. Crystals of thiouronium salt appear; these are filtered off and suction-drained. The precipitate thus obtained is introduced into a 500 ml three-necked flask together with 60 ml of sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture is heated to 70° C. and 15.6 g (0.164 mol) of chloroacetic acid in 30 ml of water are added dropwise. The whole is then heated under reflux for half an hour, after which it is cooled. The mixture is acidified with 3N HCl, the precipitate obtained is redissolved in a dilute (sodium) bicarbonate solution, and the solution is washed with methylene chloride, filtered over charcoal and again acidified with 3N HCl so as to precipitate 3,4-methylenedioxybenzylthio-acetic acid, which is filtered off. After recrystallisation from a 1:1 (volume/volume) mixture of diisopropyl ether and petroleum ether, 18.2 g (40% yield) of the said acid (instantaneous melting point=87° C.) are collected.
