Sodium Hydroxide → 3-{4-[3,3-Bis-(4-bromo-phenyl)-allyloxy]-phenyl}-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-{4-[3,3-bis-(4-bromo-phenyl)-allyloxy]-phenyl}-propionic acid ethyl ester (example 5) (1.0 g, 2.0 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) and ethanol (50 mL) was added 1N NaOH (10.0 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and 1N HCl added. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate (x 3). The organic layers were combined, washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was recrystalised from warm ethanol (100 mL), witch was concentrated to 60 mL, and cooled, to give 600 mg (56%) of the title compound.
