Reaction Steps

The phenylethanone of Step 2 (500 mg) was dissolved in MeOH (20 mL), and potassium carbonate (1 eq.) was added followed by water (1 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and then was poured into water. The solution was acidified with HCl and a precipitate was formed. The precipitate was collected and air dried to give about 350 mg of 1-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanone.
