Procedure
To a solution of methyl (2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate (5.35 g, 30.0 mmol) in acetic anhydride (45.0 mL, 476 mmol) was added pyridine (4.85 mL, 60.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 26 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The precipitated crystals were washed with ethyl acetate-hexane to give the title compound (6.15 g, yield 93%) as colorless crystals.
