Reaction Steps

The mixture of 5,6-dimethyl-2-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalene-1-carbonyl)-amino]-indan-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (78) (438 mg, 1.11 mmol) and KOH (1 g, 18 mmol) is dissolved in EtOH (8 mL) and water (1 mL) under a water bath. The water bath is removed when KOH is completely dissolved and the resulting reaction solution is stirred at RT for 8 h. After concentration in vacuo, the residue is dissolved in water (20 mL) and acidified with conc. HCl until no more precipitate formed. The precipitate is filtered to give a pure product (79) as a pale brown solid (390 mg, 97%).
