EXAMPLE: 2-Hydroxy-3-[(2-carboisopropoxyethyl)thio]-3-[2-(8-phenyloctyl) phenyl]propanoic acid.
USE: A leukotriene antagonist.
PREPARATION: An aldehyde of formula V is converted into a methyl 2- hydroxyacetate derivative through the route of trimethylsilyl-protected cyanohydrin, and the product is reacted with thionyl chloride and further reacted with a substituted thiol to obtain a compound of formula I (wherein Y is COR3).
