Reaction Steps

To methyl 9-(4-(2-butoxyethoxy)phenyl)-1-isobutyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzoazonin-6-carboxylate (2.65 g) were added tetrahydrofuran (35 ml) and methanol (35 ml), followed by adding aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide solution (11.4 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 7 hours. After cooling to 0° C., water was added and the mixture was neutralized with 1N hydrochloric acid. After extracting with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 9-(4-(2-butoxyethoxy)phenyl)-1-isobutyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzoazonin-6-carboxylic acid (2.5 g) as a yellow oily material.
