Reaction Steps

A mixture of (E)-4-[[3-(2-naphthalenyl)-2-propenyl]oxy]-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid methyl ester (0.85 g) in methanol (20 mL), acetone (5 mL), and 0.5N sodium hydroxide (6 mL) was treated as in Example 19. Extraction with dichloromethane provided material which was crystallized from dichloromethane-hexane to give 0.75 g of colorless (E)-4-[[3-(2-naphthalenyl)-2-propenyl]oxy]-alpha-oxobenzeneacetic acid, mp 142°-143° C.
