3-Octyn-1-ol → 3-Octen-1-ol, (3Z)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

The hydrogen reduction of this 3-octyn-1-ol is carried out by dissolving the compound in n-hexane with addition of 3 to 20% by weight of a Lindlar catalyst and introducing hydrogen at room temperature with agitation (reaction (iii)). Removal of the catalyst by filtration and n-hexane by distillation from the reaction mixture gives cis-3-octen-1-ol in an almost quantitative yield.
