Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3,4,5-trifluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid (6.0 g), sulfuric acid (0.016 mL) and ethanol (50 mL) was stirred at 80° C. overnight, neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (5.6 g).
