Reaction Steps

50.6 mg (0.0969 mmol) of methyl 6-[(2-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-2-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-4-quinolinecarboxylate obtained in Example 6 were mixed with 33.5 mg (0.388 mmol) of sodium hydroxide, 1 ml of water and 0.3 ml of ethanol and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. After concentrated under reduced pressure, the concentrate was partitioned between water and ether. The aqueous layer was acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate to obtain 44.2 mg of 6-[(2-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-2-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid.
