Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a Paar hydrogenation bottle is added 0.144 mole of ethyl 6-methoxy-2-naphthylglyoxylate, 2 ml. of 0.1 M - ferrous sulfate solution; 220 ml. of isopropanol, and 1.0 g. of 84.1% platinum oxide. The mixture is shaken for 2 hours at room temperature with hydrogen gas until 0.144 mole of hydrogen is absorbed.
