Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (RS)-(3-benzyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-ethoxy-acetic acid (0.801 g) at rt in ethanol was added 10% Pd/C (0.1 g). The mixture was then stirred at rt under a hydrogen atmosphere for 17 h. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with dichloromethane. The filtrate was concentrated (rotavapor). The residue was purified by chromatography to give (RS)-ethoxy-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid (0.250 g) as a light yellow gum.
