Ethanol → Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-phenylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a nitrogen atmosphere, 10% palladium-carbon (900 mg) was added to a mixed solution of EtOH (40 mL)-THF (8 mL) of methyl 5-benzyloxybiphenyl-3-carboxylate (1.55 g), and stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction liquid was filtered through Celite, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound as a white powder. Not purified, this was used in the next step.
