Reaction Steps

To a solution of Methyl[2-methyl-4-(tert-butyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]pentanoate (0.035 g, 0.097 mmol) in ethanol (1.0 mL) was added a solution of sodium hydroxide 10 N (0.10 ml) and the mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 100° C. for 18 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was acidified with 1N HCl (pH˜2) and partially concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate to afford 0.015 g (44%) of the title compound as a white solid
