Procedure

2-(3-Bromo-5-chloro-phenyl)-propionic acid ethyl ester (2.0 g, 6.9 mmol) in 2:2:1 MeOH:THF:H2O was treated with 1N aqueous LiOH (3 mL) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was acidified with 10% aqueous HCl (10 mL) and extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound.
