The solution was stirred for 16 h at ambient temperature. The methanol was removed under vacuum, and water (500 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with MTBE (2×500 mL). The aqueous solution was brought to pH=1 with concentrated HCl and then extracted with MTBE (2×500 nL). The organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give racemic 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methoxypropanoic acid as an oil (110 g), which crystallized upon standing. 1H-NMR (DMSO): 7.0 (d, 2H); 6.6 (d, 2H); 4.0 (m, 1H); 2.8 (m, 2H); MS (ES−) m/z 195.1 (M−1).
