Reaction Steps

In a modification of this Friedel-Crafts reaction, 2,6-di-methylphenol is treated with acrylonitrile in the presence of aluminum chloride to yield 3-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionitrile. Upon hydrolysis of this and esterification of the resulting free acid with methanol and p-toluenesulfonic acid, there is obtained methyl 3-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, M.P. 70°-83° C.
