Participants

Reaction Steps

2,4-bis(2-methylprop-1-enyl)dibenzo[b,d]furan-3-amine (5.45 g, 18.7 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (150 mL) and to it were added 10% Pd/C (1.5 g) and 5% Pt/C (1.5 g) and hydrogenated at 50 psi of H2 for over night. GC indicated complete conversion of olefin to alkane. The reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite pad and washed with methylene chloride. The filtrate was concentrated to produce 5.3 g (96% yield) of desired product.
