A new and efficient conversion of alkylphenols into the corresponding substituted salicylic acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308018594

A three-step sequence suitable for the synthesis of alkyl substituted salicylic acids from the corresponding alkylphenols involves ortho-directed lithiation of the methoxymethyl aryl ethers followed by quenching with carbon dioxide and deprotection under acidic conditions.
