Procedure

Ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (275 mg, 1.42 mmol) in acetic acid (2 mL) was added nitric acid (60-62%, 300 mg, 2.86 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 50° C. and cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried with MgSO4 and filtered. EtOAc was removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with n-Hexane/EtOAc=6/1.
