Method for synthesizing 2, 4-dihydroxy-3, 6-dimethyl methyl benzoate by using 4-O-demethylated barbatic acid

The invention provides a method for synthesizing 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethyl methyl benzoate (synthetic oak moss) by using 4-O-demethylated barbatic acid, and relates to the technical field of chemicalsynthesis. The technical scheme comprises: hydrolyzing 4-O-demethylated barbatic acid into 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethyl benzoic acid by adopting an acid hydrolysis or alkali hydrolysis method; carryingout a methyl esterification reaction with a methylation reagent by using 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethyl benzoic acid as a substrate; and treating after the reaction is finished so as to obtain 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethyl methyl benzoate (synthetic oak moss). According to the invention, the synthetic oak moss is synthesized by using the new intermediate through two-step synthesis, so that the synthesisprocess is simplified.
