Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 6-benzoyloxy-hexanoate (c) (38.09 g) in ethyl acetate was added 5% Pd/C (3 g) and the resultant mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 24 hours. The crude product obtained by treating in the conventional manner was distilled under reduced pressure (1 mmHg, 182°-192° C.) to give the title compound (d). Yield: 4.92 g (90%)
