2-Methyl-3-[4-(2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-ol → 2-Methyl-3-[4-(2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenyl]propan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

70 g of 3-(p-tert.amyl-phenyl)-2-methyl-allyl alcohol are dissolved in 700 ml of alcohol, treated with 7 g of 5% palladium/carbon and hydrogenated until the hydrogen uptake has been completed. The catalyst is subsequently filtered and the alcohol is evaporated. By distillation there is obtained pure 3-(p-tert.amyl-phenyl)-2-methyl-propanol of boiling point 124°-129° C./0.04 Torr.
