A mixture of 3.0 grams (0.008 mole) of 1-(3-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]undecanol and 0.5 gram (catalyst) of 10% palladium on charcoal and 50 mL of acetic acid in 50 mL of ethanol was hydrogenated using a Parr hydrogenator. Upon the uptake of the theoretical amount of hydrogen, the reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to a residual oil. NMR analysis of the oil indicated that the phenol portion of the molecule was completely unprotected, and the benzylic hydroxyl was about 70% removed. The oil was then mixed with. 16.5 grams (0.047 mole) of 1-[3-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]undecanol, 2.0 grams of 10% palladium on charcoal, 10 mL of water, and 50 mL of ethanol in 130 mL of acetic acid. The mixture was then hydrogenated as previously described, using the Parr hydrogenator. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel. Elution was accomplished using 9:1 petroleum ether and diethyl ether and 8:2 petroleum ether and diethyl ether. The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, yielding 7.7 grams of 3-undecylphenol. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
