Procedure
2-[4-(2-Benzyloxy-acetoxy)-phenoxy]-propionic acid methyl ester 15 (13 grains, 37.79 mmol) is dissolved in methanol (100 ml) in a pressure vessel, palladium on carbon (50% wet, 5%, 10 grams) added and the mixture stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen (4 Kg) for 48 hours. The catalyst is removed by filtration and distilled off the methanol. The crude 16 can be purified by column chromatography on silica gel using chloroform: Ethyl acetate.
