Reaction Steps

To 30 ml of ethyle acetate, 1.9 g of a mixture of 50% 1-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-4-(4-methylphenyl)-4-methyl-2-pentene and 50% 1-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-4-(4-methylphenyl)-4-methyl-1-pentene was added and dissolved, and thereto 0.4 g of 5% pd-C was added, and the mixture was stirred under a pressure of 20 kg/cm2G with hydrogen gas at room temperature. After three hours, pd-C was removed by filtration, and ethyl acetate was evaporated under reduced pressure.
