Procedure

Ethanol (8.8 ml), 1,4-dioxane (2.2 ml) and a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (4.7 ml) were added to benzyl 4-benzyloxy-2-chlorobenzoate (1.12 g). The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1.5 hr. The solvent was evaporated and water was added to the residue to dissolve the same. After washing with ether, the aqueous layer was acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid, and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give the objective compound (810 mg) as a pale-yellow powder.
