An improved procedure for synthesis of DL-4-Hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic Acid (DL-Vanillyl-mandelic Acid, VMA) entails slow addition of an ice-cold, aqueous solution of glyoxylic acid to an ice-cold alkaline solution of guaiacol, with efficient mechanical stirring. This one-step condensation procedure provides VMA in 68-75 percent yield.
一种改进的合成DL-4-羟基-3-甲氧基扁桃酸(DL-香草扁桃酸,VMA)的方法,是在高效机械搅拌下,将冰冷的乙醛酸水溶液缓慢加入到冰冷的愈创木酚碱性溶液中。这一步缩合反应可使VMA的产率达到68%-75%。
