Reaction Steps

2.2 g (4.7 mmol) of 4-{3-Hydroxy-3-[3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-(2-trimethylsilylethoxymethoxy)phenyl]-1-propynyl}benzoic acid and 75 ml of dichloromethane are introduced into a three-necked flask. 360 μl (4.7 mmol) of trifluoroacetic acid are added at -78° C. and the mixture is allowed to return to room temperature. The reaction medium is poured into water and extracted with ethyl ether, and the organic phase is separated out after settling has taken place, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The residue obtained is triturated from heptane, filtered and then dried. 1.6 g (90%) of 4-[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-oxo-2,5cyclohexadien-1-ylidene)-1-propynyl]benzoic acid are collected, with a melting point of 216-8° C.
