The resulting solution was stirred for 1 day, and then the ethanol was removed in vacuo. A small quantity of water was added, and the solution was extracted twice with diethyl ether (to remove non-acidic material). The aqueous solution was covered with a layer of diethyl ether and acidified to pH 1 by the dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid, cooling the solution to about 10°C. The ether layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted twice more with diethyl ether. The combined ether extracts were dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to give 7-[2-hydroxy-5-(3-hydroxy-1-octenyl)cyclopentyl]heptanoic acid (0.08 g., 57%), νmax 1700 cm-1 and 980 cm-1 (liquid film), which required no further purification.
