Ethyl Acetate → 4-[9-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)nonyl]-7-methoxymethoxy-3-(4-methoxymethoxyphenyl)-3-methylchroman

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[9-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-nonynyl]-7-methoxymethoxy-3-(4-methoxymethoxyphenyl)-3-methylchroman (150 g, 2.51 mmol) in methanol (100 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added 10% Pd—C (570 mg), which was then stirred at room temperature under hydrogen (atmospheric pressure) for 1 day. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction solution, which was then filtered, extracted several times with ethyl acetate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (134 g, yield 89%, 3RS/4RS:3RS/4SR=6:1) as a colorless oil.
