Procedure

[4-(2-Benzyloxyacetylamino)phenoxy]acetic acid methyl ester 49 (25 g, 76 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (450 ml) in a pressure vessel. Palladium on carbon (5%, 10 g) was added and the mixture stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere (2 kg) for 5 hrs. Catalyst was removed by filtration and methanol distilled off. Crude 50 was recrystallised in chloroform:hexane (1:6) to give pure 50 (14 g) as a white powder with an m.p. between 147.5-150° C.
