A solution of 2-(3-chloro-4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid methyl ester (4.85 g, 15.50 mmol) in ethanol (108 mL) was treated with a solution of potassium hydroxide (4.35 g, 77.50 mmol) in water (25.2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to remove ethanol. The resulting aqueous residue was acidified to pH=2 with a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and then extracted with methylene chloride (3×15 mL). The combined organic layers were then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-(3-chloro-4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid (4.14 g, 89.4%) as a white solid which was used without further purification.
