Procedure
To a solution of (E)-2-fluoro-3-(3-methoxymethoxy-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-pent-2-enal (Intermediate 17, 880 mg, 2.5 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) was added 1M NaOH (7.5 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 5 h, quenched with 2M H2SO4 (10 mL), and was stirred for 30 min. The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic layer was washed successively with brine, NaHCO3, was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (5% EtOAc-hexane) to give the title compound as a yellow solid (930 mg, 95%).
