反応手順

To a solution of 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (2 g, 13.2 mmol) in methanol (45 mL) was added concentrated H2SO4 (0.82 mL) and the mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h. Next, the solvent was removed and the residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed, to yield 1.54 g of the desired compound (yield: 71%).
