Procedure

To a solution of 9.0 g (36 mmol) 2-(3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester in 40 ml ethanol 40 ml 2 N sodium hydroxide solution was added. After stirring for 4 hrs at RT 150 ml water was added and the solution washed twice with 200 ml Et2O. The aqueous phase was acidified with 25% hydrochloric acid solution and three times extracted with 150 ml CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to yield 8.3 g (97%) 2-(3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-2-methyl-propionic acid as a off-white solid.
