Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to the process for precursor δ), 9.6 g of methyl 2-[2-(acetyl-2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl]E-but-2-enoate in 60 ml of dioxane were reacted to give the carboxylic acid. After concentrating on a rotary evaporator a yellow oil remained which in addition to 70% of the title compound contained a further 30% of the diacid formed by hydrolysis of the methyl butanoate.
