Reaction Steps

1.0 gram (3.16 mmol) of 3-(6-hydroxy-2-methyl-3,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-7,10-methano-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-yl)-propionic acid methyl ester, prepared as described in Example 13, was mixed with 20 mL of 2N NaOH and 20 mL of dioxane, the mixture was stirred for 5 hours and was acidified with dilute HCl. Water and ethyl acetate were added and the organic layer was separated, washed and dried over MgSO4. After the removal of solvents, the residue was further purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (3:2 ethyl acetate/hexane) to afford 700 mg of 3-(6-hydroxy-2-methyl-3,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-7,10-methano-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-yl)-propionic acid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 6.29 (s, 1H), 4.70 (s, 1H), 3.52-3.46 (d, 2H), 2.69-2.55 (m, 2H), 2.52-2.47 (m, 2H), 2.00-1.64 (m, 8H), 1.43-1.15 (m,5H); MS: 302 (M+H+, 73%), 325 (M+Na+, 100%).
