Procedure
8.84 g of (2E,4E)-3-methyl-5-[(1RS,2RS)-2-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid ethyl ester (ca. 94% pure according to 1H-NMR) was dissolved in 100 ml of THF/EtOH=1:1 and treated with 40 ml of 3N aq. NaOH. The reaction mixture was kept in the dark at ambient temperature for three days. It was then poured onto crashed ice, extracted with EtOEt, washed with H2O, and dried over Na2SO4. Evaporation of the solvent and twofold crystallisation (hexane/AcOEt=8:2 and 7:3) yielded 4.25 g of (2E,4E)-3-methyl-5-[(1RS,2RS)-2-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-penta-2,4-dienoic acid as white crystals of m.p. 150°-151° C.
