Abstract: A method to prepare ethyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropanoate was established.The aqueous extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza was dissolved in ethanol and concentrated sulfuric acid was added as the catalyst,and ethyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropanoate was synthesized under the reflux of ethanol.The DPPH radical elimination tests showed that ethyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropanoate had a higher radical eliminate ability compared to Danshensu.This study provided a simple,low cost but effective method to prepare Danshensu derivatives.

Key words: Danshensu, ethyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropanoate, derivative, DPPH
