Procedure
A solution of 3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2,4-bis-ethoxycarbonyl-pentanedioic acid diethyl ester in concentrated hydrochloric acid (100 ml) and acetic acid (100 ml) was refluxed for 8 h. Removal of the solvent in vacuo and recrystallization of the residue from acetonitrile yielded 3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-pentanedioic acid (22.84 g in 1st crop, 65%, 3.84 g in 2nd crop, 11.05% from 4-bromobenzaldehyde).
