Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-methoxy-4-(2-(methylsulfonyl)ethoxy)benzoate (30 mg, 0.099 mmol) was taken up in water (1.2 mL), H2SO4 (200 μL, 3.8 mmol), and AcOH (1300 μL, 23 mmol). The mixture was heated at 90° C. for 6 h before it was cooled to ambient temperature and was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography (1-40% MeOH/DCM) to give 3-methoxy-4-(2-(methylsulfonyl)ethoxy)benzoic acid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 274.1. found 275.1 (M+1)+; Retention time: 0.69 minutes (3 min run).
