Procedure: Ethyl p- hydroxymethylbenzoate (0.51 g, 2.8 mmol) was dissolved in ethylene diamine and heated on a steam bath overnight. The volume was reduced under a stream of nitrogen and the residue was chromatographed by preparative thin layer chromatography (silica, CHCl3 : MeOH:HOAc, 10:10:1) to yield the product as an oil (0.35 g, 49% yield). heated on a steam bath overnight the residue was chromatographed by preparative thin layer chromatography (silica, CHCl3 : MeOH:HOAc, 10:10:1)

Procedure: 24.1 g (0.277 mmol) of manganese dioxide are added with stirring and at room temperature to a solution of 2.5 g (13.9 mmol) of ethyl 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate in an n-hexane/carbon tetrachloride (50 ml : 30 ml) mixture. After half an hour of stirring, the reaction is complete. After filtration of the reaction medium and removal of the solvents under vacuum, 1.76 g of a yellow oil which gives a single spot in TLC are obtained. A crystallization in isopropyl ether yields a white solid.

Procedure: 4 g (26.3 mmol) of 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid in 1,000 ml of absolute ethanol are heated under reflux of the solvent for 15 hours in the presence of approximately 1 g of concentrated sulfuric acid. The ethyl alcohol is then evaporated off and the residue taken up with water. After extraction of the aqueous phase with 3×100 ml of ethyl ether, the organic phases are washed to neutrality with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. After removal of the solvent, 4.56 g of a yellow oil, which soon crystallizes, remains.
