Tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) was added to help solubilize the starting material. The resulting reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 25° C. where it was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. and slowly treated with a saturated aqueous sodium sulfite solution. The product was extracted into ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-(3-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid (4.54 g, 99.1%) as a white solid: mp 123.9–126.2° C.; FAB-HRMS m/e calcd for C15H19ClO4S (M+H)+ 331.0771, found 331.0776.
