Procedure
A mixture of 2-((1R,2S)-2-((benzyloxy)methyl)cyclopropyl)acetic acid (884 mg, 4.01 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) was stirred in the presence of 10% palladium-carbon (310 mg, 50%, wet) at room temperature for 3 hr under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm). The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added toluene (about 20 mL), and the mixture was concentrated to give 2-((1R,2S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropyl)acetic acid (542 mg, 4.16 mmol, quant.) as a colorless oil.
