Procedure

Combine methyl 3-methoxy-4,5-ethylenedioxybenzoate (0.46 g, 2.0 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (15 mL). Add a 1 M aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide (2.5 mL, 2.5 mmol). Heat to reflux. After 15 hours, cool the reaction, concentrate in vacuo to remove most of the tetrahydrofuran. Cool in a ice bath and acidify with a 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution to give a solid. Collect the solid by filtration and dry to give the title compound.
