Reaction Steps

Subsequently, a 100 ml four-necked flask equipped with a condenser tube and a thermometer was charged with 15.6 g of benzyl p-(p-acetoxybenzoyloxy)benzoate, 30 g of 5% sodium hydroxide and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and they were reacted at 30° C. for 5 hours. The reaction product was extracted with 50 ml of toluene. The extract was washed with water, and toluene was evaporated. The residue was separated on a column to give benzyl p-(p-hydroxybenzoyloxy)benzoate as white crystals having a melting point of 137° to 138.5° C.
