Procedure
5 g of 6-methoxy-2-(1-cyclohexenyl)benzo[b]thiophene was dissolved in 20 ml of ethyl acetate, 800 mg of 5% palladium-carbon was added, and hydrogenation was carried out at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 2.5 g of 6-methoxy-2-cyclohexylbenzo[b]thiophene.
