Reaction Steps

Dissovled in 120 ml of methanol were 6.45 g (22.1 mmol) of benzyl-4-(indan-2-yl)-2-butenoate, and 0.6 g of 10% palladium-carbon was added to the solution, followed by vigorous stirring for 2.5 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was separated by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 3.84 g of 4-(indan-2-yl)butanoic acid as a crystal. Yield: 85%.
