Reaction Steps

The procedure is as in Example 2, starting with diethyl 2-dimethylamino-5-n-butylthio-2,4-hexadienedioate (10 g), 12N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (63 cc) and ethanol (100 cc). The mixture is maintained for 1 hour at a temperature of approximately 20° C. After purification by chromatography on a silica column with dichloromethane as eluent, diethyl 2-hydroxy-5-n-butylthio-2,4-hexadienedioate (5.6 g), m.p. 37° C., is obtained. Diethyl 2-dimethylamino-5-n-butylthio-2,4-hexadienedioate may be prepared in the following manner:
