53 g of methyl 2,4-dimethoxybenzoate was dissolved in 160 mL of ethanol, to which 104 mL of a 5M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added, and this mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 25 to 40° C. Then, chloroform and water were added to the reaction mixture, which was adjusted to pH 2 with 6M hydrochloric acid, and then the organic phase was separated therefrom. After the resultant organic phase was washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution successively, the washed phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled out under reduced pressure to yield 45 g of 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid as white solid.
