Procedure: 3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (733 mg, 4.35 mmol), 8-methylnonanoic acid (751 mg, 4.35 mmol) and Novozyme 435 (100 mg) were measured and placed in a flask (25 ml). The mixture was stirred with heating in an oil bath at 50° C. for 16 hr without plugging the flask. After stirring with heating for 2 to 3 hr, attachment of water onto the upper wall of the flask was observed. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, hexane (50 ml) was added, and Novozyme 435 and the insoluble material were removed by filtration. Hexane (25 ml) was added to the filtrate, and the mixture was washed with 5% aqueous citric acid solution (25 ml×2) and saturated brine (25 ml) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl 8-methylnonanoate (1.25 g, yield 88.8%) as a colorless oil. placed in a flask After stirring with heating for 2 to 3 hr to cool to room temperature Novozyme 435 and the insoluble material were removed by filtration Hexane (25 ml) was added to the filtrate the mixture was washed with 5% aqueous citric acid solution (25 ml×2) and saturated brine (25 ml) dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate Magnesium sulfate was filtered off the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: While stirring a mixture of 30 g of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 125 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate, and 600 ml of methyl ethyl ketone, 168 g of 1,2-dibromoethane was added to the mixture, and the resultant mixture was refluxed for 48 hours with stirring. After cooling, the reaction mixture was filtered under suction and the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure to provide a pale-yellow oily matter. The product was dissolved in 300 ml of ether and the solution was washed twice each with 50 ml of an aqueous 5% sodium hydroxide solution and then with 50 ml of water, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and distilled under reduced pressure to provide a yellow oily matter. To the product was added 100 ml of a mixture of ether and petroleum ether of 1:1 by volume ratio to form crystals, which were recovered by filtration under suction to provide 39 g of 3-ethoxy-4-(2-bromoethoxy)benzyl alcohol having a melting point of 51°-53° C. was added to the mixture with stirring After cooling the reaction mixture was filtered under suction the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure to provide a pale-yellow oily matter the solution was washed twice each with 50 ml of an aqueous 5% sodium hydroxide solution with 50 ml of water, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate distilled under reduced pressure to provide a yellow oily matter to form crystals, which were recovered by filtration under suction
