実験手順

In a 100 ml autoclave, the inside atmosphere of which had previously been replaced with argon, were placed 0.32 g (2 mmoles) of (Z)-3-methylcinnamic acid and 20 ml of methanol. Then, 2.9 mg (0.0034 mmole) of Ru((+)BINAP)-(O2CCH3)2 prepared according to the same manner as in Referential Example 3 except using (+)-BINAP in place of (-)-BINAP was added to the mixture to perform hydrogenation for 70 hours at a hydrogen pressure of 104 kg/cm2 and at a reaction temperature of 25° C. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled off to provide 0.32 g of 3-phenylbutyric acid. The yield was 100%.
