Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-(5-methoxymethoxy-2-propylphenoxy)acetate (1.60 g) and 10% hydrogen chloride-methanol (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and ethyl acetate was added to the residue. The mixture was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give methyl 2-(5-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)acetate as a colorless oil (1.17 g, 87%).
