Reaction Steps

1.5 g (2.5 mmol) of 6-(2-methoxyethoxymethoxy)-N-[4′-(2,4-dioxothiazolidin-5-ylmethyl)biphenyl-3-ylmethyl]-N-methylnaphthalene-2-carboxamide (obtained in Example 16) in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 10 ml of methanol are introduced into a round-bottomed flask. 500 μl of concentrated sulphuric acid are added and the medium is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Water is added and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and then evaporated off. The residue is purified by chromatography on a silica column eluted with a heptane and ethyl acetate (30/70) mixture. 1.26 g (99%) of 6-hydroxy-N-[4′-(2,4-dioxothiazolidin-5-ylmethyl)biphenyl-3-ylmethyl]-N-methylnaphthalene-2-carboxamide are obtained in the form of a white powder having a melting point of 218° C.
