2-[4-(2,2-Dimethyl(2,3-dihydrobenzo[2,3-b]furan-7-yloxy))butoxy]-1,3-dichloro-5-(phenylmethoxy)benzene → 4-[4-(2,2-Dimethyl(2,3-dihydrobenzo[2,3-b]furan-7-yloxy))butoxy]-3,5-dichlorophenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.67 gram (0.0014 mole) of, 2-[4-(2,2-dimethyl(2,3-dihydrobenzo[2,3-b]furan-7-yloxy))butoxy]-1,3-dichloro-5-(phenylmethoxy)benzene and 0.01 gram (catalyst) of 10% palladium on carbon in 75 mL of methanol was subjected to hydrogenation conditions using a Parr Hydrogenator, yielding 0.55 gram of the subject compound. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
