Procedure
A mixture of 3 g of 2,4-dihydroxy-3-propylacetophenone, 2.5 g of ethyl bromoacetate, 2.3 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate, and 30 ml of methyl ethyl ketone was refluxed for 5 hours. Then, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and after addition of 50 ml of toluene, the mixture was washed with water, a diluted aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and water successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus formed was recrystallized from a mixture of toluene and n-hexane to provide 2.8 g of ethyl (4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propylphenoxy)acetate (melting point: 66° to 66.5° C.).
