Reaction Steps
Methyl 4-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-3-methylbenzoate (366 mg) was suspended in MeOH (10 ml) and H2O (2 ml) and treated with LiOH (48 mg) over 3 days. After the reaction mixture was acidified with 1N HCl, the product was extracted with EtOAc. Evaporation and drying in vacuum afforded the desired product (295 mg).
