Procedure

Combine 5-[2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-pentanoic acid methyl ester (2.1 g, 7.3 mmol) with THF (4 mL), EtOH (4 mL) and 2N NaOH (15 mL) and stir until hydrolysis is complete. Concentrate the mixture, dilute the residue with water and adjust the pH to 3.0-4.0 using aq HCl. Extract the mixture with CH2Cl2 and concentrate the extracts in vacuo. Drying gives 5-[2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-pentanoic acid (1.8 g, 91%). MS (ES): (M+1)+ 274.1, 275.1 m/z.
