Procedure

A solution of 3.25 g (9.02 mmol) of the bissilylated compound 6-[(tert-butyldimethyl-silyl)oxy]-hexanoic acid silyl ester in 130 ml of methanol and 44 ml of ThF is mixed with a solution of 4.4 g (31.8 mmol, 3.5 equivalents) of K2CO3 in 44 ml of H2O, and it is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. Then, the volume of reaction solution is reduced to one-fourth in a vacuum. It is diluted with 130 ml of saturated NaCl solution and set at pH 4-5 with 1 M KHSO4 solution. It is extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic phases are dried on MgSO4, and the solvent is distilled off in a rotary evaporator. 2.01 g (8.17 mmol) of 6-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-hexanoic acid, corresponding to a yield of 90%, is obtained.
