Procedure

Methyl 3-{[(1S)-1-methylpropyl]oxy}-5-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]benzoate (14.87 g, 47.36 mmol) was vigorously stirred in a mixture of aqueous 1M sodium hydroxide (120 mL) and THF at approximately 45° C. for 4 hours. The bulk of the THF was removed under reduced pressure and the resultant solution partitioned between water and diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was acidified with 2M hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo gave a white solid (11.5 g). 1H NMR δ (CDCl3): 0.90 (t, 3H), 1.20 (d, 3H), 1.49-1.69 (m, 2H), 4.33-4.46 (m, 1H), 5.12 (s, 2H), 6.75-6.79 (m, 1H), 6.99-7.03 (m, 1H), 7.06-7.11 (m, 1H), 7.26-7.47 (m, 5H)
