Procedure

3.5 g (93 mmol) of methyl 4-[3-hydroxy-3-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)-1-propynyl]benzoate, 200 ml of methanol and 20 ml of a methanolic sodium hydroxide solution (2N) were introduced into a round-bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours and evaporated and the residue was taken up in water and acidified with hydrochloric acid. Extraction was carried out with ethyl ether and the organic phase was separated by settling, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue obtained was recrystallized from a cyclohexane/isopropyl ether mixture and 1.7 g (50%) of the expected acid, with a melting point of 134°-135° C., was recovered.
