A solution of ethyl (RS)-4-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoate (3.66 g) in ethanol (100 mL) is treated with 1 N sodium hydroxide solution (15.5 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, evaporated and the residue azeotroped with toluene to give sodium (RS)-4-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-4-hydroxy-butanoate (3.2 g) as a brown solid.
