Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of ethyl 3-(2-fluorophenyl)propionate (25.54 g, 0.130 mol) and a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (30 mL) in water (130 mL) was refluxed for 2 h. After cooling the mixture was washed with diethyl ether (2×100 mL). The aqueous phase was chilled in an ice bath, and the pH was adjusted to 3 with hydrochloric acid . The white precipitate which formed was collected by filtration, washed repeatedly with water, and dried in a vacuum at 60° C. for 18 h to give 18.66 g (85%) of 3-(2-fluorophenyl)propionic acid as a white solid; m.p., 72°-74° C. This material was used without further purification.
