Procedure

To a stirred solution of 3-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid (10 g, 65.7 mmol) and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, 16.27 g, 78.8 mmol) in DMF (30 ml) was added pyridine (2.5 ml) followed by absolute ethanol (15 ml, 255.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, filtered, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column (hex: ethyl acetate 2:1) to give the title compound.
