Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-(2S)-2-amino-5-phenyl-hex-4-en-1-ol (180 mg) in methanol (25 ml) at room temperature was added 10% palladium on charcoal (50 mg). The mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen (1 atm) at room temperature for 2 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield a colourless oil, (160 mg, 88%); MS (ISP): 194.3 ([M+H]+).
