Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 49.3 g (0.219 mole) of 6-(p-chlorophenyl)hex-5-enoic acid, 3.0 g of 10% Pd/C, and 300 ml of ethyl acetate was hydrogenated at 45 psi and room temperature for 20 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a Celite pad, and the filtrate concentrated to give 21.3 g (43%) of V as an oil, which was used without further purification.
