Then, 5.0 g (25.75 mmol) of 2-(p-fluorophenyl)-3-methylcrotonic acid, 13 ml of methanol and 33 ml of tetrahydrofuran were placed in a 185 ml autoclave and the catalyst solution prepared above was added. The autoclave was sealed and the hydrogenation was carried out at 20° while stirring and under a constant pressure of 50 bar. The conversion was 100% after 24 hours. The hydrogenation solution was evaporated at 50°/200 mbar and the residue was distilled at 108-110°/0.01 mbar. There were obtained 4.8 g (97%) of (S)-2-(p-fluorophenyl)-3-methylbutyric acid as a colorless oil which solidified at RT; 98.2% ee.
