Bogeny and R. Krattner, Arch.Pharm; 1960, 293, 393) and anhydrous ethanol (250 ml.). Dimethyl sulphate (36 ml.) was then added, and the mixture stirred under reflux for 24 hours. The solid was filtered off, and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo to give more solid. The combined solids were suspended in water (250 ml.), and sodium hydroxide (20 g.) was added. The mixture was stirred under reflux for 2 hours, and then concentrated hydrochloric acid was added through the condenser, at such a rate that the contents of the flask continued to reflux gently, until pH 1 was attained. After being cooled, the solid which separated was filtered off, and recrystallised from 50% aqueous ethanol, and then from ethanol, to give 5-benzyloxy-2-methoxybenzoic acid (8 g.), m.p. 114°-116° C.
