Procedure

A solution of 313.9 grams of 2-ethylhexanoylbenzene in 500 mL of acetic acid with 11.4 grams of 10% palladium on carbon (as a catalyst) was stirred at 110° C. in an atmosphere of hydrogen at 414 kPa for 34 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite™ diatomaceous earth filter agent to remove the catalyst. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 2-ethylhexylbenzene.
