To a solution of 1-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acid (2.00 g) in methanol (15 mL) was added conc. sulfuric acid (0.1 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the resultant residue was diluted with diethylether. The mixture was washed successively with an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give methyl 1-hydroxy-cyclopentanecarboxylate (2.06 g) as a pale brown oil.
