Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(1-phenylethyl)benzoate (500 mg, 1.77 mmol) in dichloromethane (8 mL), trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred for 0.5 hour. Once the start material was consumed, the resultant mixture was concentrated to give 4-(1-phenylethyl)benzoic acid (360 mg, 90%).
