The mixture is stirred at 20° C. during 1 hour and then it is treated with water (500 mL) dropwise during 30 minutes. The resulting solid is filtered, washed with water and dried, to give 3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (60.9 g) in the form of white crystals [Elemental analysis: C,65.8; H,6.7%; calculated: C,66.1; H,6.8%].
