3-Methoxycarbonyl-2-(1-naphthylmethylene)propionic acid → 3-Methoxycarbonyl-2-(1-naphthylmethyl)propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 251 mg of the propionic acid compound in 10 ml of methyl alcohol was added 30 mg of a 10% palladium charcoal, and the mixture was hydrogenated under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature. After filtration of the catalyst, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 250 mg of 3-methoxycarbonyl-2-(1-naphthylmethyl)propionic acid as a white powder.
