Step 5 A mixture of a,a-dimethyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (90.0 g; 499 mmol) and methanol (1 L) was cooled to 0 °C in an ice water bath. To this solution was added thionyl chloride (72.9 mL; 119 g) dropwise with stirring. The resulting solution was heated under reflux for 2 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo to afford a solid, which was crystallized from toluene (900 mL) to give methyl 2-(4- hydroxyphenyl) -2-methylpropanoate (92 g, 95%). Alternate procedure: Thionyl chloride (92.4 g; 777 mmol; 200 mol%) was added over 20 minutes to a stirring solution of a,a-dimethyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (70.0 g; 388 mmmol) in methanol (390 mL). The resulting solution was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 40 minutes, concentrated, and dried further under high vacuum to give methyl 2-(4- hydroxyphenyl) -2-methylpropanoate (75.3 g, 100%) as a light-brown semi-crystalline solid.
