Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the compound obtained in Example 22 (3) (0.26 g), tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) and methanol (10 ml), a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5 ml) was added at 15 to 30° C. and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. 1N hydrochloric acid was added thereto and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane.
