Procedure

To a stirred solution of (8) (1.0 g, 2.22 mM) in methanol (100 mL) is added 1 mL of water followed by dropwise addition of 2.5 N sodium hydroxide solution (4.0 mL). The walls of the reaction flask are rinsed down with 10 mL of methanol and the mixture is stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere until TLC analysis shows no ester (mono- or di-) remaining. The methanol is removed in vacuo, the residue taken up in 100 mL of water, stirred for solution, filtered (20 mL water rinses), and the stirred filtrate acidified dropwise with 2 N hydrochloric acid. Filtration of the resultant precipitate followed by copious water washing and drying gave 0.87 g (96%) of (9) as a chalk-like white solid. The compound was one component by TLC (silica gel, the eluant was 10 mL of 2% methanol in methylene chloride containing 4 drops of glacial acetic acid). mp 128.5-130° C. uncorr.
