Procedure

Ethyl 2-[4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl]-pyrrole-1-acetate (prepared in Example 14) (3.59 g, 8 mmole) and potassium hydroxide (0.90 g, 16 mmoles) are added to ethanol (80 ml), and the mixture is refluxed for 5 minutes. After distilling off ethanol, the resulting residue is dissolved in water. To the aqueous solution is added 10% hydrochloric acid, and the precipitated crystals are separated by filtration and dried to give crude crystals (3.20 g). The crude crystals are recrystallized from benzene to give 2-[4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl]-pyrrole-1-acetic acid (2.69 g, yield: 80%).
