A solution of 3-Hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid (5.04 g, 33.12 mmol) and p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.741 g, 3.89 mmol) in abs ethanol (150 ml) was refluxed for 16 hours or until all the starting material is consumed. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with EtOAc (30 ml) and washed with water (20 ml). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column (hex: ethyl acetate 2:1) to give the title compound.
