Ethyl 4-[(7,8-dihydro-8,8-dimethyl-5-(2-thienyl)naphth-3-yl)ethynyl]benzoate → 4-[(5,6-Dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-8-(2-thienyl)-2-naphthalenyl)ethynyl]benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Employing the same general procedure as for the preparation of 4-[(5,6-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-8-(2- thiazolyl)-2-naphthalenyl)ethynyl]benzoic acid (Compound 30a), 70.0 mg (0.17 mmol) of ethyl 4-[(5,6-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-8-(2-thienyl)-2-naphthalenyl)ethynyl]benzoate (Compound 33a) was converted into the title compound (colorless solid) using 17.8 mg (0.42 mmol) of LiOH in H2O. PMR (d6 -DMSO): δ 1.27 (6H, s), 2.33 (2H, d, J=4.9 Hz), 6.23 (1H, t, J=4.9 Hz), 7.14 (2H, m), 7.38-7.56 (4H, m), 7.61 (2H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 7.92 (2H, d, J=8.3 Hz).
