Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (E,E,E)-3-methyl-7-(5,6-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-8-(4-methylphenyl)-2-naphthalenyl)-2,4,6-octatrienoate (Compound 51) 85.0 mg, 0.20 mmol) in THF (1 ml) and methanol (1 ml) was added 12.0 mg (0.50 mmol) of LiOH (0.5 ml, 1M solution). The mixture was stirred for 6 hours, diluted with ether (60 ml), acidified with 10% HCl (1 ml). The solution was washed with water, and saturated aqueous NaCl, before being dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvents under reduced pressure afforded the title compound as a solid, which was purified by recrystallization from acetone. 1H NMR (acetone-d6): δ 7.35-7.45 (2H, m), 7.19-7.28 (4H, m), 7.17 (1H, d, J=1.8 Hz), 7.09 (1H, dd, J=11.5, 15.1 Hz), 6.48 (1H, d, J=11.5 Hz), 6.42 (1H, d, J=15.1 Hz), 5.99 (1H, t, J=4.7 Hz), 5.82 (1H, s), 2.36 (3H, s), 2.33 (2H, d, J=4.7 Hz), 2.32 (3H, s), 2.13 (3H, s), 1.32 (6H, s).
