Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-[4-[(4′-hydroxy-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy]phenyl]propanoate (0.18 g, 0.46 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) was added 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (0.91 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1 to give the title compound (0.13 g, yield 74%) as colorless crystals.
