Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.37 g (1.1 mmol) of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (R)-1-methylheptyl ester obtained as in the fourth stage of Example 23 where (R)-1-methyl heputanol was used in stead of (R)-1-trifluoromethylheptanol, 0.33 g (1.1 mmol) of 4'-decylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (FK-1124-10 from Teikoku Kagaku Sangyo K.K.), 0.013 g (0.11 mmol) of 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and 10 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise 5 ml of a methylene chloride solution containing 0.27 g (1.3 mmol) of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide with stirring at room temperature over a period of 2.5 hours.
