Pyridine → 3-Octen-1-ol, (3Z)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrogen gas was blown into a solution prepared by dissolving 126 g of 3-octyn-1-ol in 100 ml of n-hexane with admixture of 10 g of a Lindlar catalyst and 10 g of pyridine and the introduction of hydrogen was continued for about 4 hours when absorption of hydrogen had ceased. Removal of solid matter from the reaction mixture by filtration and stripping of n-hexane gave cis-3-octen-1-ol, which was dissolved in a mixture of 250 g of methylene chloride and 111 g of triethylamine.
