A mixture of 13.0 grams (0.058 mole) of methyl 2-cyclopropyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetate and 5.0 grams of an aqueous, 50% sodium hydroxide solution in 50 mL of methanol was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with 150 mL of water, and the solution was decanted from a solid residue. The liquid portion was washed with three portions of diethyl ether. The combined ether washes were, in turn, washed with an aqueous, dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The combined aqueous layers were made acidic by the slow addition of aqueous, 10% hydrochloric acid. The acidified mixture was extracted with five portions of methylene chloride. The combined extracts were dried with sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, yielding 7.4 grams of 2-cyclopropyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid as a solid, m.p. 95°-96° C.
