1,7-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (3a, 0.55 g, 1.5 mmol) and palladium on activated carbon (0.25 g, 5%) were combined in ethyl acetate (30 ml). The mixture was placed under a hydrogen atmosphere (60 psi) on a Parr apparatus for 4 hr at room temperature. The resulting mixture was filtered through celite and the solvent evaporated to afford a solid. The crude solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to give 0.30 g (54%) of white crystals: mp 92-94° C. [expected mp 92-93° C.]; 1H NMR: δ 2.53 (t, 4H, J=7.9 Hz), 2.83 (m, 4H), 3.84 (s, 6H), 5.40 (s, 1H), 5.48 (s, 2H), 6.64 (m, 4H), 6.81 (d, 2H, J=8.3 Hz), 15.44 (s, 1H); 13C NMR: δ 29.2, 31.3, 40.4, 45.5, 55.9, 99.7, 110.9, 111.0, 114.3, 120.7, 132.4, 143.9, 146.3, 193.0.
