Reaktionsschritte

2 g of palladium on charcoal (5% strength) are added to a solution of 20 g of 5-[p-(1-cyclooctenyl)-phenoxy]-pentanoic acid ethyl ester in 100 ml of ethanol and hydrogenation is carried out at room temperature and normal pressure until one equivalent of hydrogen has been absorbed. The catalyst is then filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness in vacuo. Distillation of the evaporation residue in a high vacuum gives 5-(p-cyclooctyl-phenoxy)-pentanoic acid ethyl ester of boiling point 170° -175° C at 0.05 mm Hg.
