Procedure

A solution of 3.36 g of 2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4-[4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenyl]-3(2H)-furanone in 150 ml of methanol was heated under reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 17 hrs. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue was recrystallized from methylene chloride-petroleum ether to give 2.28 g (83%) of 2-methoxy-2-phenyl-4-[4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenyl]-3(2H)-furanone as colorless crystals, m.p. 117°-120° C., after drying at 50° C. for 1 hr. under vacuum.
