Ethyl 5-[4-(9H-9-Carbazolyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinolinyl]pentanoate → 5-[4-(9H-9-Carbazolyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinolinyl]pentanoic acid

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-[4-(9H-9-carbazolyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinolinyl]pentanoate (0.20 g, 0.34 mmol) prepared in Example 127 was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml), to which 1N NaOH (5 ml) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.11 g, 0.34 mmol) were then added and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and then at 60° C. for 4 hours. After the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1N HCl, the organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent, the residue was applied to silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/5) to give the titled compound (0.14 g, yield: 74%) as a white crystal (cis:trans=4:1).
