5-Benzyloxypent-2-yl acetate → 5-Hydroxypent-2-yl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% palladium-active carbon (48 mg) was added to a mixed solution of 5-benzyloxypent-2-yl acetate (419 mg, 1.78 mmol) in methanol (1.86 mL) in an ice bath in an argon atmosphere, followed by stirring at room temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, filtration was carried out and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. 257 mg of the title compound (yield: 87%) was obtained as a colorless oil.
