100 g of (3aS, 6aR)hexahydro2-oxo-1,3-dibenzylthieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-ylidenepentanoic acid (formula I) are dissolved in 340 ml of water at 40° C., where the pH is set to 8.7 using aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. 25% by weight of 5% Pd/C are added to the solution. The mixture is subsequently hydrogenated at an H2 pressure of 3 bar and 100° C. until the takeup of hydrogen is complete. The catalyst is filtered off after cooling. The solution is set to pH=6.0 using hydrochloric acid and extracted with 300 ml of xylene. The aqueous phase is subsequently extracted again with 100 ml of xylene. The organic phases are combined, and the solvents are evaporated, leaving 96 g of (3aS, 6aR)-hexahydro-2-oxo-1,3-dibenzylthieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-ylpentanoic acid (formula II) as a pale-yellow oil.
