Procedure
To a solution of methyl 2-methyl-2-(3-phenoxy-phenyl)-propionate (712 mg, 2.63 mmol) in THF (8 mL) was added potassium trimethylsilanolate (90% technical grade; 563 mg; 1.5 eq) and the solution heated to 45° C. for 5 hrs. The solution was allowed to cool, diluted with EtOAc (15 mL) and acidified with 2M HCl to ˜pH 3. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness to afford the desired acid, 2-methyl-2-(3-phenoxy-phenyl)-propionic acid, as a colorless powder. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.25-7.35 (3H, m), 7.08-7.16 (3H, m), 7.01 (2H, dd, J=7.7, 0.6 Hz), 6.86 (1H, dd, J=8.1, 2.3 Hz), 1.58 (6H, s).
