Reaction Steps

As in Example 306, a solution of (Z)-alpha-(ethoxyimino)-5-[2-(2-naphthalenyloxy) ethoxy]-2-thiopheneacetic acid ethyl ester (0. 141 g) in methanol (2 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was treated with 4N sodium hydroxide (0.5 mL) and the stirred mixture was heated at 55° C. for 30 minutes. After the normal work up, the product was crystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to furnish 0.07 g of (Z-alpha-(ethoxyimino)-5-[2-(2-naphthalenyloxy)ethoxy]-2-thiopheneacetic acid, mp 114° C. (dec.).
