The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1.5 h and then concentrated in vacuo to remove methanol. The remaining aqueous layer was acidified to pH=2 with a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford pure 2-(3-chloro-4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-(tetrahydro-furan-2(R)-yl)-propionic acid (0.495 g, 95.8%) as a light yellow oil that crystallized upon standing: mp 93-96° C.; [α]23589=−23.70° (c=0.46, chloroform); EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C14H17ClO3S (M+) 300.0587. found 300.0579.
