Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1 g. of 9-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-nonadiene (prepared as in Example 8) in 40 ml. of benzene was added 2.0 g. of a 5 percent palladium on carbon catalyst. Hydrogen was introduced into the reaction vessel to a pressure of 50 psig. This mixture was shaken at room temperature for 16 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the benzene was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield pure 9-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethylnonane (XI). The structure was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
