A mixture of ethyl-(4-isopropylphenoxy)acetate (1.61 g, 7.24 mmol) and 2N NaOH(aq) (10.9 mL) in 20 mL of methanol was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was taken up in water (100 mL), acidified with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 1.32 g (94%) of 4-isopropylphenoxyacetic acid as a white solid.
