Reaction Steps

This compound is prepared essentially by the method described in Example 2 except that the 7-[2-(3-hydroxyoctyl)-4-oxo-3-thiazolidinyl]heptanoic acid is replaced by 7-[2-(3-hydroxy-4-propoxybutyl)-4-oxo-3-thiazolidinyl]heptanoic acid. Column chromatography of the resulting product provides the title compound as a t.l.c. homogeneous oil.
