The invention relates to a process for the synthesis of moguisteine that is ethyl ester of (R,S)-3-[2-[(2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl]-3-oxypropanoic acid which comprises the steps of forming a new cyclic intermediate of formula 2-[(2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-1,3-dioxolane (4), forming (R,S)-2-[(2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-1,3-thiazolidine (6) and reacting this latter with monoethylmalonic acid (7) or a salt thereof. The moguisteine of the invention is obtained in high yield and purity.
