Procedure

A solution of 3-(benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethoxy)-phthalic acid dimethyl ester (1.6 g crude, 4.8 mmol) in reagent alcohol (100 mL) and 3 N sodium hydroxide (35 mL) was refluxed for two hours. The solution was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in water (80 mL) and washed with methylene chloride (3×70 mL) then acidified to pH around 4. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×60 mL) and the combined organic layers was washed with water (2×70 mL), dried and concentrated to give 3-(benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethoxy)-phthalic acid as an off-white solid (1.2 g, 80% crude yield). The product was used in the next step without further purification.
