Tetrahydrofuran → (1R,10R,11S,16S)-3-methoxy-1,11,15,15-tetramethyl-8,8-dioxo-8lambda6-thiatetracyclo[8.8.0.02,7.011,16]octadeca-2,4,6-triene-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (1R,10S,11S,16S)-3-methoxy-11,15,15-trimethyl-8,8-dioxo-8λ6-thiatetracyclo[8.8.0.02,7.011,16]octadeca-2,4,6-triene-5-carboxylate (59) (0.29 g, 0.66 mmol) and LiOH.H2O (0.08 g, 3.3 mmol) in THF (15 mL) and water (5.0 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was acidified with 1 M HCl. The resulting solid was collected by filtration to give (1R,10R,11S,16S)-3-methoxy-1,11,15,15-tetramethyl-8,8-dioxo-8λ6-thiatetracyclo[8.8.0.02,7.011,16]octadeca-2,4,6-triene-5-carboxylic acid (80) (0.27 g, 98%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ 8.04 (d, 1H), 7.74 (d, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 3.47-3.35 (m, 3H), 2.26 (d, 1H), 1.86-1.16 (m, 11H), 1.10-1.00 (m, 5H), 0.89 (s, 3H), 0.87 (s, 3H). MS m/z 421 (O23H32O5S+H+).
