Reaction Steps

To 20 ml of an ethyl acetate suspension of 0.3 g of 5% palladiumcarbon, in which hydrogen had been adsorbed in advance, was added 1.0 g of the so-obtained 2'-hydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxy-3'-(3-methyl-2-butenyl) chalcone, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours and hydrogen was absorbed. After the reaction, the suspension was filtered to remove the palladium-carbon, and removal of the solvent by distillation gave 1.0 g (yield=98.7%) of 1-(2-hydroxy-3-isopentyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone in the form of a colorless solid.
