2-Hydroxy-3(4-alkylphenyl)-3-butenoic acid ester and process for the production thereof

A new process for the production of a 2-(4-alkylphenyl)-propionic acid known as a valuable anti-inflammatory agent is now provided, which comprises treating an alkyl 2-hydroxy-3-(4-alkylphenyl)-3-butenoate, a new compound, with an alkali metal alcoholate in an alcohol to give the corresponding alkyl 3-methyl-3-(4-alkylphenyl)-pyruvate, also a new compound, which is then hydrolysed to liberate the corresponding 3-methyl-3-(4-alkylphenyl)-pyruvic acid, and then oxidising the liberated pyruvic acid compound to the desired 2-(4-alkylphenyl)-propionic acid. This new process is operable in a facile way with a high yield of the desired product and is much suitable for a commercial practice than the prior art methods.
