A mixture of 20 g (87 mmol) of (±)-4-bromo-α-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 200 ml of methanol and 2 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. To the mixture 50 ml of water was added. After the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic extract was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and then with water, and it was dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removing the solvent, the residue was purified by chromatography (elution with toluene:ethyl acetate (2:1)), and 19.5 g of (±)-methyl 4-bromo-α-hydroxyphenylacetate was obtained (yield: 92%).
