실험 절차

A solution of (2R)-2-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-5-phenylpentanoic acid (Syn. Lett.; 1998; 637-639) (10.00 g, 34.2 mmol) in acetic acid (120 ml) was treated with 5% Rhodium on alumina catalyst, pressurised to 60 psi with hydrogen in a sealed vessel and stirred at room temperature for 17 hours. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Arbocel® and the solvent was removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The residue was azeotroped from toluene to afford the title compound (7.53 g).
