Procedure
The title compound was synthesized by referring to Org. Synth., 1963, IV, 690. A suspension of (4-bromomethylphenyl)acetic acid (6.0 g) and hexamethylenetetramine (11.1 g) in ethanol (80 ml) was stirred for 2 hours at 100° C., then acetic acid (20 ml) and water (20 ml) were sequentially added thereto followed by stirring for 1.5 hours at 100° C. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, extracted with ethyl acetate, then sequentially washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. A solution of the residue in tetrahydrofuran was filtered through silica gel, then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the resulting solid was washed with a hexane-diethyl ether system to provide the title compound (2.0 g).
