Procedure

10% Palladium on carbon (1.00 g) was added to a suspension of 3-(1-naphthyl)acrylic acid (50.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml). The mixture was hydrogenated at 6 atmospheres for 18 hours then filtered through a kieselguhr pad washing with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml). The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the subtitle compound (50.0 g) as a solid.
