Participants

Reaction Steps

In an autoclave there are introduced—under nitrogen atmosphere—20.0 g of 2-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)but-3-yn-2-ol and 300 mL of Isopropanol and 1.0 g of cobalt polysulfide paste (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,219,679A1). The mixture was hydrogenated for 1 hr and 15 minutes at 110° C. and 1000 psig of hydrogen pressure. After removing the catalyst by filtering, the solution was concentrated to dryness and the residue was crystallised from Toluene providing 13.1 g of the product of formula (IV) for a molar yield of 77%.
