A solution of methyl 9-(2'-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxy-6'-methylbenzoyl)nonanoate (formula II-1 wherein R=H3CO, X=H, Y=OH, n=8, in the form of methyl ester) (0.12 part) in acetic acid (17 volume parts) was shaken with 5% palladium-on-carbon in a current of hydrogen gas at 50°-60° C. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the acetic acid was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silicic acid (6 parts and elution was carried out with chloroform. The procedure provided methyl 10-(2'-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxy-6'-methylphenyl)decanoate (formula II-2 wherein R=H3CO, X=H, Y=OH, n=8, in the form of methyl ester) (0.09 part) as a colorless oil.
