3 g. of 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-hydratropic acid phenylurethane are dissolved in acetic acid. To the solution 0.4 g. of a 5% palladium-on-charcoal catalyst are added, and the mixture is hydrogenated at 25° C. until the calculated amount of hydrogen is used up. The catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is admixed with a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and the separated oil is extracted with chloroform. The chloroform solution is dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. 1.1 g. (67%) of 4-methyl-hydratropic acid are obtained.
