Procedimiento

50 g of ethyl hydroxybenzoate and 21 g of potassium hydroxide were added to 400 ml of dimethylformamide, and stirred at 70° C. for 1 hour. This was cooled to 45° C., and 100 g of 3-[(tosyloxy)methyl]-3-ethyloxetane was dropwise added to it. Kept at 45° C., this was stirred for 3 hours. Water and toluene were added to it for liquid-liquid separation. The toluene layer was washed with 3% hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate and water, and then toluene was evaporated away. To the resulting residue, added were 50 g of sodium hydroxide, 500 ml of ethanol and 200 ml of water, and this was refluxed for 2 hours. Ethanol was evaporated away, and the resulting residue was poured into 500 ml of 5% hydrochloric acid, and a crystal was thus formed. The crystal taken out through filtration was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethanol and water, and 60 g of 4-(3-ethyloxetan-3-ylmethoxy)benzoic acid (OX5) was obtained. Its melting point was 127.5° C.
