Procedure

A mixture of methyl 4-isobutylsulfonylbenzoate (1.00 g, 3.90 mmol), NaOH (10 mL of 1.0 M, 10 mmol), and 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 1.5 h. The mixture was cooled to rt before it was concentrated in vacuo. The solid residue was taken up in water and was washed with ethyl acetate which was discarded. The aqueous layer was acidified with 1N HCl and was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and were concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) on the residue gave 4-(isobutylsulfonyl)benzoic acid (98%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 242.1, found 243.2 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.73 minutes (3 min run). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.30 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 8.05 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 3.03 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 2.27 (dt, J=13.3, 6.6 Hz, 1H), 1.08 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 6H).
