Procedure

In 1 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 8 ml of methanol were dissolved 220 mg of ethyl 5-(p-heptyloxybenzyloxy)-1-methoxy- 2-indaneacetate obtained in Example 4. After 1 ml of a 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to the solution, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours. After diluting with water, the system was rendered acidic with hydrochloric acid followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, dried and concentrated. The obtained crystalline residue was recrystallized from ether-pentane to obtain 150 mg of 5-(p-heptyloxybenzyloxy)-1-methoxy-2-indaneacetic acid.
