Reaction Steps

A mixture of 11.3 g of 3-(octadecyloxy)-5-[(5-methoxy-5-oxopentyl)oxy]benzoic acid phenylmethyl ester and 1.5 g of 10% palladium on carbon in 250 ml of THF was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 4 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated at reduced pressure to a solid which was triturated with hexane and filtered to give 9.37 g (98% yield, mp 68°-70°) of 3-(octadecyloxy)-5-[(5-methoxy-5-oxopentyl)oxy]benzoic acid.
