Procedure

At room temperature, 0.7 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added to 5.00 g of 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzoic acid suspended in 50 ml of ethanol. After the mixture was refluxed with heating for 7 hours, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water and ethyl acetate were added to the residue, and then the organic layer was washed in order with water, saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated sodium chloride solution. And it was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Obtained crude crystals were purified by silica gel column chromatography with toluene-ethyl acetate eluent. Obtained crystals were dispersed by hexane and collected by filtration and washed with hexane. 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzoate ethylester 5.04 g was obtained.
