Methyl N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-4-aminomethyl-2-O-benzylsalicylate (6.81 g, 16.8 mmoles) was dissolved in tetrahydrofaran (50 mL). A solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.78 g, 18.5 mmoles) in water (25 mL) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred and heated at 75° C. for 24 hours. The solution was cooled, and 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (50 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate (150 mL then 50 mL). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were washed with water (75 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (50 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to 150 mL. The ethyl acetate solution was heated to boiling, and hexanes (150 mL) was added. The solution was cooled in ice, and crystals formed. The crystals were collected by filtration, washed with hexanes, and dried in vacuo to afford 5.92 g (90% yield) of N-(benzyloxy-carbonyl)-4-aminomethyl-2-O-benzylsalicylic acid (m.p. 139°-140° C., open capillary, uncorrected).
