Procedure

A solution of (2S)-3-(4-benzyloxy-2-methyl-phenyl)-2-ethoxy-propionic acid methyl ester (3.6 g, 11 mmol) in methanol (300 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% palladium on charcoal (1 g) at ambient temperature for 2 h. The catalyst was filtered off and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2 g (8.4 mmol, 77%) of the title compound as yellow liquid which was used in the next step without further purification.

Workup

  1. filtrationThe catalyst was filtered off
  2. customthe solvent evaporated under reduced pressure
