Reaction Steps

2-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)acetic acid is prepared in a known way (cf. J. Org. Chem. 11, 798 (1946)) from 4-acetyl-2,6-dimethylphenol, sulfur, and morpholine (Willgeroth-Kindler Reaction) and has a melting point of 147° C. The acid is converted into the 2-hydroxyethylamide (yellow-brown oil) through the methyl ester (melting point 95° C.) by the method of Example 1.1.
