2-Methyl-4-(1-methyl-cyclopropyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (2.75 g, 13.46 mmol) was treated with methanol and 5 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (20.46 ml, 102.32 mmol). This solution was heated to 80° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated until methanol was evaporated. A white solid was obtained. The solid was dissolved in 50 ml water under heating then cooled with an ice bath; acidified with 10 ml conc. hydrochloric acid. A white precipitate was formed; filtered; washed with water; dried under high vacuum over night to yield 2-Methyl-4-(1-methyl-cyclopropyl)-benzoic acid (2.18 g, 11.46 mmol) MS (ESI) 189.1 (M-H)−
