2-[4-Hydroxyphenyl]-3-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid methyl ester → HCID 21051258, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-(3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-acrylic acid methyl ester (2.1 g) in dioxane (60 mL) 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 2.1 g) was added. Hydrogenation was carried out in a Parr shaker at 70 psi for 6.5 h. Catalyst was filtered through a bed of Celite and solvent was evaporated. Yield: quantitative. Analysis: 1HNMR (CDCl3): δ7.15 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 6.74 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 6.29 (t, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.25 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 2H), 3.78 (t, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 3.72 (s, 6H), 3.62(s, 3H), 3.31(dd, J=13.5 & 8.4 Hz, 1H), 2.93 (dd, J=13.5 & 6.9 Hz, 1H).
