Reaction Steps
A stirred mixture of sodium p-hydroxymandelate monohydrate (21.2 g.), potassium hypophosphite (52 g.), 50% w/v aqueous hypophosphorous acid (2.2. ml.) and water (10 ml.) is heated under reflux for 22 hours (internal temperature 143° C.) and then cooled. The mixture is diluted with water, acidified with hydrochloric acid and extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone. p-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid, which is formed in 67% yield, is isolated from the extract by conventional means.
