Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.0 g of 3-[[6-[2,3-bis(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]hexyl]oxy]-5-(octadecyloxy)benzoic acid phenylmethyl ester and 0.5 g of 10% palladium on carbon in 100 ml of THF was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere until uptake ceased after 5 hours. The usual workup followed by trituration of the crude product with hexane gave 1.2 g (88% yield, mp 92°-94°) of 3-[[6-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl) hexyl]oxy]-5-(octadecyloxy)benzoic acid.
