Procedure: 24.0 g (0.15 mole) of 2-formylphenylacetic acid and 0.1 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 250 ml of methanol are refluxed for 2 hours. Thereafter, the solution is evaporated down, the residue is taken up in diethyl ether and the solution is washed with dilute HCl. The organic phase is separated off, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated down. The residue is purified by distillation (90° C., 0.4 mbar). 19.3 g (74%) of methyl 2-formylphenylacetate are obtained as a colorless liquid in this manner. Thereafter, the solution is evaporated down the solution is washed with dilute HCl The organic phase is separated off dried over MgSO4 evaporated down The residue is purified by distillation (90° C., 0.4 mbar)
