Reaction Steps

To 255 mg of 5-[(E)-4,7-bis(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-heptenylidene]-2-methylthio-4-(4-phenoxybutyl)-4-trimethylsilyloxy-2-cyclopentenone obtained in Example 75 was added 20 ml of a mixture of acetic acid:tetrahydrofuran:water=3:1:1, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 26 hours. After concentration with an addition of toluene, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate was added, and the mixture was extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration and concentration, the concentrate was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 94 mg (yield 63%) of 5-[(E)-4,7-dihydroxy-2-heptenylidene]-4-hydroxy-2-methylthio-4-(4-phenoxybutyl)-2-cyclopentenone.
