Reaction Steps

(4R)-3-[3-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylpropanoyl]-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid (compound 4) (7.1 g) was dissolved in 2N sodium hydroxide (40 ml) and stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The resulting solution was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid and the separated crystals were filtered to give 5.1 g (75%) of the titled compound: mp 163°-164° C. (dec.) (ethyl acetate); [α]D25 +174.1° (c=1.0, methanol). IR (nujol, cm-1): 3330 (OH), 1730 and 1710 (COOH), 1629 (CON), 1280, 1234, 856, 771.
