Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.20 g of ethyl 1-[(2'-carboxybiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propylimidazole-5-carboxylate hydrochloride (prepared as described in Example 16) in an aqueous solution of 84 mg of lithium hydroxide monohydrate in 5 ml of water was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. At the end of this time, 2 ml of 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid were added dropwise to the reaction mixture, and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, to give 0.17 g of the title compound, melting at 176°-179° C.
