Procedure
To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)benzoate (350 mg, 1.41 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hours. The mixture was concentrated to give 4-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)benzoic acid (200 mg, 74%) as a white solid.
