The mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 4 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and insoluble substances were separated by filtration. The insoluble substances were further washed with 2-butanone, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (1 L), washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the obtained residue was dried under reduced pressure to give 71.6 g of methyl 4-(cyclopropylmethoxy)benzoate (colorless crystal). All this crystal was dissolved in methanol (715 mL), and a 2 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (345 mL, 690 mmol) was added thereto. The resulting mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours, and the solvents (mainly methanol) were evaporated. The residue was suspended in water (500 mL), and 2 N hydrochloric acid (360 mL) was added thereto under ice-cooling with stirring. The precipitated white solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and n-hexane, and dried under reduced pressure to give 64.6 g of the title compound (white powder, yield: 97%).
