A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(3-nitro-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (0.55 g, 2.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/water (10 mL, 3:1) was treated with lithium hydroxide (185 mg, 4.40 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 48 h. The tetrahydrofuran was then removed in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water (25 mL) and extracted with ether (1×20 mL). The aqueous layer was acidified to pH=2 with a 3N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The product was extracted into methylene chloride (3×25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (2×25 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 3-cyclopentyl-2-(3-nitro-phenyl)-propionic acid (0.48 g, 91.9%) as a tan solid: mp 95-99° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C14H17NO4(M+) 263.1157, found 263.1156.
