The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and was washed with water. The aqueous layer was acidified with 1N HCl and the product was extracted into ethyl acetate. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 4-((1R,2R)-2-hydroxycyclopentyloxy)-3-methoxybenzoic acid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 252.1. found 253.5 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.07 minutes (3 min run).
