A solution of N-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (4.00 g., 21 mmol) and diethyl oxalate (7.3 mL, 54 mmol) in absolute ethanol is added dropwise to a solution of sodium ethoxide (0.1 mol) in absolute ethanol. The mixture is heated at reflux temperature for 1.5 h, cooled to ambient temperature, poured into water, acidified to pH 3 with 6N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts are combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford an oily residue. The residue is dissolved in ethanol, treated with concentrated HCl heated at reflux temperature overnight, cooled to 0° C. for several hours and filtered. The filtercake is dried to afford the title compound as an orange solid, 2.95 g (61% yield), mp 195°-198° C., identified by NMR and mass spectral analyses.
