The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and added water to give precipitate which was collected by filtration. The crude solid was recrystallized from EtOH/hexane to give 4-[N′-(2-methoxyphenyl)ureido]-3-methylphenylacetic acid (932 mg, 83%) as a white powder. mp 260–264° C.; 1H-NMR (CD3OD) δ 2.30 (s, 3 H), 3.55 (s, 2 H), 4.87 (s, 3 H), 6.87–6.92 (m, 2 H), 6.97–6.99 (m, 2 H), 7.10–7.24 (m, 2 H), 7.53–7.58 (m, 1 H), 8.04 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1 H); MS (ESI) m/z 314 (M+).
