Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)propenoic acid (0.0435 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) and a slurry of 10% palladium on carbon (1.5 g) in ethyl acetate were shaken together under 50 psi hydrogen for 4 hours. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to yield 8 g (99%) of a yellow oil.
