Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

500 mg (1.29 mmol) of the compound from Example 99A are initially charged in 6.4 ml of ethanol. After addition of 2.57 g (28.96 mmol) of sodium hydroxide, the mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 30 min, and a clear solution is formed. After cooling to RT, the solvent is removed on a rotary evaporator. The residue is taken up in 3 ml of water and acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid until a yellowish precipitate is formed. The suspension is stirred at RT for 3 h. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with about 5 ml of water and a little ethanol and then recrystallized from about 10 ml of ethanol. The product obtained in this manner is used without further purification in the subsequent reactions.
