Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3 g of the above 21-(2-hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)heneicosanoic acid in 10 ml of methanol is added p-toluenesulfonic acid (30 mg), followed by heating under reflux for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water is added and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. to give colorless crystals of methyl 21-(2-hydroxy-3,4-dimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)heneicosanoate. m.p. 72°-72.5° C.
