Ethyl 2-(5-t-butylfuran-2-yl)-cyclopropanecarboxylate (5.0 g, 0.021 mol) was dissolved in methanol (50 ml) and a solution of potassium hydroxide (2.4 g, 0.043 mol) in water (50 ml) was added dropwise at room temperature. The solution was refluxed for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature and carefully neutralised with 2M HCl. Saturated sodium chloride was added, the aqueous solution extracted with ethyl acetate (4×50 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. Removal of the solvent gave 2-(5-t-butylfuran-2-yl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (4.4 g, 100%).
