Procedure
[4-(1-Hydroxy-2-propynyl)-2-methoxy-phenoxy]-acetic acid methyl ester was prepared according to Method A above (except the Grignard reagent was added at −78° C.) from (4-formyl-2-methoxy-phenoxy)-acetic acid methyl ester (0.645 g, 2.9 mmol) (from Example 45) in THF (30 mL) and ethynylmagnesium chloride (3.45 mmol, 7 mL, 0.5M solution in tetrahydrofuran) (Aldrich). (Yield 525 mg, 72%).
