Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 80.0 mg (0.173 mmol) of ethyl 4-[(5,6-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-8-(4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl)-2-naphthalenyl)ethynyl]benzoate (Compound 6) and 18.1 mg (0.432 mmol) of LiOH-H2O in 6 ml of THF/water (3:1, v/v), was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted with hexanes, and the remaining aqueous layer acidified with 1 M HCl, and then extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO): δ 7.82 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.44 (6H, m), 7.25 (2H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 7.02 (1H, s), 6.01 (1H, t, J=4.6 Hz), 2.32 (2H, d, J=4.7 Hz), 1.32 (9H, s), 1.29 (6H, s).
