Reaction Steps

In 80 g of formic acid was dissolved 20.0 g of the methacrylate obtained in Example 1-1-1. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Toluene was added to the reaction solution, from which formic acid and tert-butyl formate were azeotroped off. Recrystallization from hexane yielded 14.7 g of the target compound (yield 89%).
