Reaction Steps

2-(6-Methoxy-6-oxohexyloxy)-6-[6-[[4-acetyl-2-ethyl-5-hydroxyphenyl]oxy]hexyl]benzenepropanoic acid methyl ester (25.8 mg, 0.0452 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL). Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (18.9 mg, 0.452 mmol) was dissolved in water (1 mL) and added to the reaction. The reaction was stirred for 18 h. The reaction was then concentrated, brought up in water, acidified to pH 5 with 1N HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated. The resulting oil recrystallized with hexane:ethyl acetate to give 24.5 mg (100%) of product. MS: Calcd. For C31H42O8+H, 543.2958; Found, 543.2946
