Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-(methyloxy)-2-prop-2-en-1-ylbenzoate (100 mg, 0.48 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) was hydrogenated over 5% palladium on carbon for 15 h under atmospheric pressure. The reaction mixture was filtered and 35% aqueous potassium hydroxide (1 mL) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 1 h and then concentrated. The pH was adjusted to 2 with 6N HCl. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried to give 3-(methyloxy)-2-propylbenzoic acid (35 mg, 38% yield). MS (EI) for C11H14O3: 193 (M−H)
