Procedure

A solution of 2-(4-acetylphenoxy)propionic acid (1.5 g, 7.2 mmol), hydroxylamine sulfate (0.72 g, 4.4 mmol), and concentrated sulfuric acid (2 drops) in acetic acid (30 mL) is refluxed for 4.25 hours. The reaction is quenched with sodium carbonate (0.25 g, 2.4 mmol) and concentrated to give a residue. The reaction residue is dissolved in water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The ethyl acetate extract is dried and concentrated to give 2-(4-acetamidophenoxy)propionic acid (1.53 g) (yield 95%): m.p. 170°-172° C.; IR (KBr) 3400 (vs), 2900 (s) 1730 (vs), 1630 (vs), and 1603 (vs); 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) delta 1.47 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 3H), 1.87 (s,3H), 2.06 (s,3H), 4.65 (q, J=6.8 Hz, 1H), 6.73 and 7.42 (dd, J=9.0 Hz, 4H).
