To a solution of 3, 4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (8.31 g, 50 mmol) in acetone (25 ml) and 95% ethanol (25 ml) was added water (200 ml) under stirring. During this time white precipitated solid was formed, and 10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (40 ml) was added dropwise under stirring below 10° C. Then the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 hr at room temperature, after the reaction completed, the reaction mixture was neutralized with 6N hydrochloric acid to adjust pH=7.0, the prepicitated yellow solid was collected by filtration and washed with ethanol, dried , then recrystallized from 95% ethanol to give 4.16 g of a pale yellow crystal, mp: 78-80° C., yield: 17.75%.
