Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [4-(8,8-dimethyl-5-oxo-4-vinyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-ylethynyl)-phenyl]-acetic acid methyl ester (Intermediate 70, 0.082 g, 0.22 mmol) in methanol (3 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was treated with a 2M solution of lithium hydroxide (1.5 mL, 3 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 h. The volatiles were evaporated in vacuo, the residue was neutralized with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extracted with diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford the title product as a yellow solid (0.065 g, 82%).
