Participants

Reaction Steps

1.11 g (5 mM) of 5-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-5-hexen-2-ynyl propionate in 50 ml ethanol were hydrogenated in the presence of 0.4 g of 10% palladium on charcoal. After adsorption of the theoretical amount of hydrogen, the mixture was filtered over diatomaceous earth, concentrated and bulb distilled (13.3 Pa) to give 0.85 g of 5,7,7-trimethyloctyl propionate (yield 80%).
