Reaction Steps

1.7 g (3.95 mmoles) of ester obtained in Example 1 are added to a mixture of 100 ml of methanolic soda (2M) and 50 ml of water. The mixture is heated for 4 hours, evaporated dry, and after 100 ml of water are added, extracted with ether (300 ml). The aqueous phase of the product is recuperated, brought to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. After extraction of the precipitate with ether (300 ml), it is washed in water until neutral, then dried and evaporated. The solid obtained is recrystallized in acetonitrile. Thus is obtained 1.3 g (88%) of 4-hydroxy-6-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)-2-naphthoic acid which melts at 299° C.
