Participants

Reaction Steps

30 g (0.135 mol) of 1-allyl sorbitol syrup (produced as in example 1) was dissolved in 300 ml ethanol. 1.0 g of platinum (5% weight on activated carbon) was added and the mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature with hydrogen pressure at 60 psi. The reaction was stopped until no hydrogen pressure drop was observed. The solid was filtered. The allyl group of the solution was completely converted to propyl group based on NMR.
