Procedure

To a solution of trans-3-phenylcyclobutyl benzoate (step 1, 6.5 g, 26.0 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) was added 4N aqueous LiOH (20 mL, 80 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The mixture was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (5:1) to afford 3.65 g (93%) of the title compound as a colorless oil: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.34-7.16 (5H, m), 4.60-4.51 (1H, m), 3.69-3.59 (1H, m), 2.55-2.37 (4H, m).
