Procedure

A solution of methyl 4-(1-tridecynyl)cinnamate (1.020 g, 3 mmole from Example 4) in pyridine (20 ml) was hydrogenated in the presence of 5% palladium on barium sulphate (24 mg) until 1 equivalent of hydrogen was absorbed. After removal of the catalyst by filtration the solvent was removed to give the alkene as a pale yellow solid. Recrystallization from methanol gave 885 mg (87%) of pure (Z) alkene of mp 60°-62° C. indentical with that of Example 15.
