Methyl 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-2-heptenoate → Methyl 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-heptanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-2-heptenoate (60 mg), 10% Pd/C (10 mg), and methanol was hydrogenated at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was filtered through a short pad of celite, and the filtrate was rotary evaporated to give methyl 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-heptanoate, as a crude material which was then dried in vacuo.
