Product 1

HCID 2568962-fluoro-3-methylpentanoic acid

Procedure

To 8.5 g of the compound (iv) was added 1N NaOH aqueous solution, followed by stirring at room temperature for 8 hours. The solution was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ether. The extract was freed of ether by distillation. Thus there was obtained 2-fluoro-3-methylpentanoic acid (v).
