Reaction Steps

Methyl-8-thianonadeca-4,5-dienoate (210 mg) was treated in 10 ml of ethanol and 1 ml of water with 160 mg of lithium hydroxide at room temperature for 18 hours. The solution was acidified to pH 4 with dilute HCl and extracted with diethyl ether twice. The ethereal extracts were washed with brine and dried over potassium carbonate to give 120 mg of 8-thianonadeca-4,5-dienoic acid. This procedure can be used to convert the compounds of Example VI to their corresponding acid.
