Procedure

To a solution of 5-methanesulfonyl-furan-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.94 g, 14.4 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) was added a 2 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (40 mL, 80 mmol). The mixture was warmed at 80° C. for 4 hours and then concentrated in vacuo to remove ethanol. The mixture was then acidified with 1 N aqueous HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate (4×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2×100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 5-methanesulfonyl-furan-2-carboxylic acid.
