Reaction Steps

3.6 Grams of 5-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-8-bromo-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril is dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol, and to this solution is added a 50 ml water solution of 5 g of potassium hydroxide, and the mixture is refluxed for 5 hours. The solvent is distilled off and the residue is dissolved in water and then made acidic with hydrochloric acid. The precipitate is filtered out and recrystallized from aqueous ethanol to obtain 2.5 g of 5-carboxymethoxy-8-bromo-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril in the form of colorless needle-like crystals, m.p., 255°-256° C. (decomposed).
