Procedure
To a stirred solution of methyl 4-aminobenzoate (7.6 g) in acetic acid (25 ml) was added 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran (6.6 g) dropwise and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour and then diluted with water. The resulting precipitated crystals were purified by column chromatography on silica gel. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane afforded the title compound as colorless plates (7.5 g, 74%), m.p. 128°-129° C.
