To a solution of ethyl 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenoxyphenyl)butanoate (312 mg, 0.829 mmol) in tetrahyrofuran/methanol (4:1, 10 mL) was added a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate in water (1.66 M, 3.32 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with aqueous HCl (1 N in water) and extracted with ether 2×. The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness to afford 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4-phenoxyphenyl)butanoic acid as an oil. 285 mg. LCMS: (M−1) 347.3
