Reaction Steps

3-{6-[2-(2-Ethoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-propoxy)-phenyl]-hexyloxy}-5-(4-methyl-thiophen-3-yl)-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester (1.8 g) was dissolved in a mixture of TFA and dichloromethane (1:1, 20 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the crude material was purified on a silica gel column using ethyl acetate and hexanes to yield the title compound (1.2 g, 73% yield).
