3 g (8.3 mmol) of 2-methyl-4-methoxy-5-benzoylaminophenyl benzoate was added into the mixture of 50 ml of sodium hydroxide and 50 ml of ethanol and the solution was heated at 100° C. under reflux for 2.5 hours. 40 ml of IN hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture and precipitates were filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to give 1.2 g (4.6 mmol) of 2-methyl-4-methoxy-5-benzoylaminophenol in the form of pale yellow plate-like crystals. The yield was 78%.
