4-[1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)oxypropan-2-yl]-2-propylphenyl benzyl ether → 4-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-(methoxymethoxy)propan-2-yl)-2-propylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 10% palladium carbon catalyst (30 mg) was added to a mixed solution of 4-[1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)oxypropan-2-yl]-2-propylphenyl benzyl ether (264.9 mg, 0.61 mmol) in methanol (10 mL), followed by hydrogenation overnight. The catalyst was separated from the reaction solution by filtration, followed by concentration under reduced pressure to obtain 221.1 mg of the title compound (yield: 100%) as a pale yellow oil.
