Procedure

A solution of sodium hydroxide (200 mg) in water (5 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 5-phenyl-furan-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (7) (384 mg, 1.90 mmoles) in methanol (20 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was diluted with water (10 ml) and acdified to pH=2 with 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid. The precipitate was collected, washed with water and the residue was triturated with cyclohexane to afford (8) (350 mg) as a white solid. LC/MS System A; Rt=3.89 mins.
