Participants

Reaction Steps

To 750 mg (2.33 mmol) 3-[4-(4-ethoxy-phenylethynyl)-phenyl]-propionic acid ethyl ester (XIII.1) in 15 mL MeOH are added 3.49 mL (6.98 mmol) 2N NaOH solution and the mixture is stirred at rt for 12 h. After that time, 7.0 mL 2N HCl are added and the mixture is diluted with water. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with water and dried at 45° C. to yield the desired product.
