A suspension of syringic acid 81 (10.0 g, 50.5 mmol) in acetic anhydride (30.0 g, 27.7 mL, 294.1 mmol) was warmed gently until a clear solution was obtained. Fused sodium acetate (0.5 g, 6.10 mmol) was added to the solution which was allowed to stir for 16 hours at room temperature. The solution was poured into water (100 mL) and stirred thoroughly to ensure hydrolysis of any excess anhydride. Crude O-Acetyl-syringic acid was recrystallized from water to afford the product as an off-white powder (11.2 g, 46.7 mmol). H1 NMR (270 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.36 (s, 2H), 5.94 (br s, 1H), 3.87 (s, 6H), 2.35 (s, 3H). HRMS calcd for 240.0634, found 240.0637
